For two decades, I learned about, dug in, and participated in the beautiful and bizarre realm of Mail Art artists. I found the world of Fluxus, Correspondance, Neoism, Plagiarism, Art Strike, all infused in a soup of cultural criticism. There were things to make, but more importantly, people to connect with. From across the world, I met over 500 people doing the work. We were Networkers – “The Eternal Network” – before there was the web. The Aggressive School of Cultural Workers. The Correspondance School of Art. No judgment, no gallery. Everyone is an artist. No one is an artist. And it had a history, from Dada, through a thread of avant-garde movements across the twentieth century. And we were making art history too.

And the mail art artwork media. Postcards, collage, détournement, add-and-pass, poetry, Mail Art calls, artistamps, zines, rubber stamp carving, stickers, Networker Congresses. Saturdays were filled with putting together 50-60 pieces from the week, and down to the post office. The letter carrier loved the incoming, enjoying the nutty things that broke their daily monotony.

For no reason I can remember, I stopped. For 25 years. Returned in 2023. It was still there, still carrying an undercurrent of that Fluxus Manifesto. This site is my way to share work from fellow networkers and my own Mail Art artworks. Most importantly, it’s about reconnecting old and meeting new friends across the Eternal Network of mail art artists.
