“This exhibition is not a survey of mail art. It’s intentionally limited to ways in which artists have used the mails as a process for the production and dissemination of book-like or sequential works. It’s about ‘mailed’ rather than ‘mail’ art, about communication, subverting established procedures, and the increasing internationalization of the avant-garde which, before the fax machine, employed the post office as the most efficient means of eradicating geographical and institutional boundaries.” -Barbara Moore
