Merci Facteur ! Mail Art #2

The second chapter of this exhibition cycle dedicated to Mail Art, Merci Facteur! [Thank you, Mr Postman!]; this time, it focuses on the dialogues between Eric Adam (Rocourt, 1963) and Bernard Boigelot (Namur, 1953), two artists who have maintained rich epistolary exchanges. The former, in his capacity as a micro-publisher, has also cultivated rela­tion­ships with other writers. Therefore multiplying the literary and material cor­re­spon­dences documented in his archives. The latter favoured strong personal rela­tion­ships with his cor­re­spon­dents. Con­se­quent­ly, he has established a remarkable collection of mail items that are essentially a test of the postal institution. They reveal significant attention to the par­tic­u­lar­i­ties of the medium as well as a sense of wit and biting irony.
