Definitie & Betekenis van "mail art"

What is "mail art"?

Mail art is a creative movement where artists use the postal system as a medium to share their work. Instead of just sending letters or packages, artists turn envelopes, postcards, and other mail items into artworks. This approach makes art accessible to a wider audience and often involves playful, experimental, and interactive elements. Mail art emphasizes the process of sending and receiving, turning everyday mail into a canvas for artistic expression and connecting artists and audiences in a unique and personal way.
