HI Andreas --
I know you are just forwarding this, but it brought up the observation that the
authors of the call have somehow (not surprisingly) overlooked the wide and deep
history in Latin America regarding the mail art movement...! For many this
anarchic network was a solid precursor (starting 40+ years ago) to
internet-based activities of the present. Based on personal experience there
were many people active in the global mail art network...
During the last fifteen years, Latin American art has been added to canons of
twentieth-century modernism and postmodernism, in an apparent triumph for
the field. The myriad exhibitions and scholarly texts that have contributed
to this

field. These networked approaches are in part a result of curators and
scholars simply following the historical movements of individual artists,
movements, publications, and exhibitions.
I wonder, by chance, if there is any one out there on spectre who might know of
any publications/texts about that history??
Cheers,
John
