Museum Opens Mexico City Mail Art exhibitions and Mexican Pages 
Photo: Museum of Mexico City was in the email, which has become one of the most important and used in the present e-mail appears to be part of the past, considered by some an obsolete media to deliver documents in less time, is even known among Internet browsers, snail mail. While email is the result of adaptation and evolution of new vehicles and technologies, to make sending messages to anywhere in the world in a few seconds or minutes, allowing mail correspondence and other forms of exchange between them: art. 
So not only was one of the most important ways of communication between people, but it's still a means of expression, artistic creation and has grown into a network, a true cultural event.
Museum of Mexico City was the scene of three openings: open to the public the Mail Art exhibition, curated by Mauricio Marcin, also the Mexican Changes exhibition, a selection of the best books out in Mexico, Day Offering of the Dead, which will run throughout November. Cristina
Faesler, director of the Museum of Mexico City, Mauricio Marcin, curator, and John D. Berry, president of Typographique Association Internationale (ATypI), inaugurated these samples.
About Mail Art exhibition, said Faesler presented here three decades of mail art and the rescuing all this wealth "has been a labor of detective work it is usually very short lived and as at the time was not intended as a work that would be exhibited in a museum, held a special assembly of this material. "
Meanwhile, Mauricio Marcin said that the exhibition consists of objects and documents from many archives and collections of Mexican and artecorreistas Mauricio Guerrero, Maris Bustamante and Monica Mayer, among others.
With a selection of over 200 works, the exhibition becomes a testament to the possibilities that art was in those years to influence the political and social life. It makes visible the communications network that allowed mail art from countries where political regimes censored and restricted freedom of expression and free flow of ideas.
The novelty of Mail Art is in the intent to distribute art from person to person, using a channel that is free of middlemen and critics, galleries, curators and historians. In this sense, is a liberating practice as opposed to traditional systems of control and validation of art.
Through letters, posters, drawings, photographs, concrete poetry, collage, stamps, postage stamps and envelopes and postcards themselves, surgery and turned into art objects by the senders, the exhibition presents a chronological review of Mail Art activities and is the first to bring together works produced by more than 70 artists of at least 50 countries on five continents.
The purpose of the mail art was not the creation of artistic pieces, but rather to understand art as a vehicle for social transformation, where all players are likely to create freely in their formal training or technique. Certainly the inference aimed at art and culture in politics and networks made through this medium, gave samples of his vast power convening.
A striking example was the group of Mexican artecorreistas convened in 1984 the event titled Political Disappeared in Latin America. It urged the artists to express solidarity with the missing and used to mail art as a mechanism for reporting and political pressure. The result was a flood of shipments from different Latin American countries.
addition to being a global movement of trade and environmental communication through postal mail art is also a journey through time as it includes various forms of expression and correspondence as concrete poetry, an international movement that can be understood as its antecedent, based on graphic materials exchanged through publications and mail.
Polvo de Gallina Negra, for example, emerged in the 80's as a feminist art group that developed the project Mother ', which included performances in public media, inserts in newspapers and monthly mailings to a group of 100 people. May 10, do you know where your mother? "Was the title of its first consignment of confetti colors representing black hen powders sold in markets.
Similarly, evidence for evolution that crosses the art is the aparción of new media such as telegram, telex and fax (fac-simile). Fax In art, the artists saw a chance of escape and exploration. In 1991, the Centro Colombo Americano in Colombia, called Faxart exposure. An Exchange of Views on the American Landscape, which brought together artists from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico and the United States, which sent their creations via fax and in each of these countries, the sample was in charge of a different curator.
Among the distinguished artists who participate in this exhibition are Felipe Ehrenberg, Ulises Carrión, Mathias Goeritz, Mark Kurtycs, Pedro Friedeberg, Clemente Padin, Edgardo Antonio Vigo, Manuel Marin, Sebastian and Magali Lara, among others.
Mexican Pages: Books made in Mexico that
The other exhibition was inaugurated Mexican pages is framed in Congress Typ09, which brings together professionals from the world's most recognizable typeface and seeks, through the Association Typographique Internationale, develop an educational program for students of design and typography of our country.
More than an exhibition, Mexican pages is an invitation to see, touch, browse and read these books that are not always accessible to the public either by price, low circulation or because they are private issues.
