EARTH
RAWMATTER
A Mail Art project by Ruggero Maggi
The Visual Art Gallery of the Università del Melo, will host from December 2nd, 2016 until January 27th, 2017 the international Mail Art Exhibit ‘EARTH/RAW MATTER’ designed and curated by Ruggero Maggi.
Earth is the primary matter of our existence, it is the base element of life on this planet, and it is not by chance called Earth. Earth that in this exhibit is the primary element of all the art work, that has been created with clods of land and local raw matter, mailed from more than 200 international mail artists. Art work that in some cases grows and develops since it is made of living elements such as grass, small plants and lichens that are regularly watered. Small living ecosystems… Living Art!
Mail Art, Arte Postale, Arte Correo…linguistic transpositions that have marked, mostly at the end of the last century, an endless series of projects, journals, books, exhibits, and events linked to an underground artistic world with a strong inclination to non ufficiality, in which the relationship between the shipped object, the sender and the receiver is of great value.
The GloCal Mail Art is integral part of a cultural globalization process that exteriorizes at the local level in the action of each artist through an intricate web of creative communications, like a Babylon tower of crossed destinies that we can rightly consider as an extended cultural and social phenomenon, a container of ideas and emotions.
The ancestors of this type of artistic communication are Futurism and Dadaism. We should underline that the work of Kurt Schwitters, creator of the first works with stamps, and the coming, at the end of the 50’s, of the Fluxus research with artist such as Joseph Beuys, Ray Johnson, George Maciunas, Ken Friedman, Ben Vautier and some New French Realism artists and theorists such as Pierre Restany ed Yves Klein.
Ray Johnson, New York artist, is considered the creator of Mail Art: in 1962 he founded the New York Correspondence School, mocking the real correspondence schools.
After more than forty years I keep thinking that Mail Art has not lost it’s original vitality….long life to Mail Art!
