We are excited to announce the details for Hyperallergic’s first mail art show.

The exhibition, titled Presents: Three Months of Mail Art for Hyperallergic HQ, will include mail art in the form of sculpture, installation, video and works on paper. The show’s catalogue will be in the form of a ‘zine.

Co-curated by Kate Wadkins and Hrag Vartanian, Presents will draw on the 100+ mail art works that have been sent to Hyperallergic since our initial request for submissions to our Mail Art Bulletin in March 2011. The show will include everything from practical jokes to prayer/envelope flags. They represent a range of materials and subject matter all emphasizing the tangible communication from one individual to another.

The show will be open during Northside Open Studios on Saturday and Sunday June 18 and 19 from 12 noon to 6pm.

The show will continue until Wednesday, June 29, and the space will be open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 6pm or by appointment.
