The tradition

Mail art, also known as postal art and correspondence art, is an artistic movement centered on sending small-scale works through the postal service. It developed out of what eventually became Ray Johnson's New York Correspondance School and the Fluxus movements of the 1960s. It has since developed into a global, ongoing movement.
