Analog Network: Mail Art,
Oct 1–Dec 10, 2014
MoMA
Mail art—broadly defined as artists’ postal communication—emerged in the early 1960s from Fluxus, Nouveau Réalisme, and Conceptual art practices and expanded into a decentralized, global network. This exhibition traces the growth of correspondence networks, shows politically oriented works, documents discourse about the practice, and concludes with mail artists’ adaptation to the Internet.
The exhibition is organized by Jennifer Tobias, Reader Services Librarian, MoMA Library.
