Mail-Art Statements Collection (2008)
"B&W Version of Statements Collection on Mail-Art by Ruud Janssen.
Reprint of statements written in period 1993-2008 on the subject of mail-art.
These statements were first published as pamphlets. Later on the Internet, and now as a collection in one book. Some statements and texts were also published on the Internet first and later as print-out sent into the network.
The last part of this book contains visual statements made when the Millennium came about and most recent is an overview of the slides used at a lecture at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam explaining the concept of mail-art. In the past 28 years Ruud Janssen has intensively written about how E-mail and Internet would change mail-art, and it has."
This is the text written for the book, published in 2008. All texts written for my experiments on the website at geocities and later www.iuoma.org were collected for a book that I published. There are 3 versions available. A B&W version, a Colour version, and even an e-book.
All available al LuLu at:
For those who are short of money, a complete PDF file is also available at Academic.edu. I placed it these so researcher can have a look at these texts too.
The texts are to be read in a historic context. I wrote it in the years Internet was in full developement and we didn't know yet what direction it would take. In these modern times we still don't know what way we are going........
