“Mail Art” was a popular movement in 1960s and 1970s centred on sending artworks through the postal service. Despite the domination of the internet as an alternate communidation method in the contemporary era, “Mail Art” remains popular as the most reliable way to reach out to recipients. The exhibition explores the potential and meaning of “Mail Art” of today which requires the existing system and other people’s hands.
Gallery Yuyama was set up in 2006 in an old minka house in Matsunoyama area as a part of abandoned house renovation project. It has opened as a regular gallery since 2012, operated and curated by GUN, a group of contemporary artists based in Niigata established in 1967. Gallery Yuyama provides a platform for the artist based in Niigata to express and run exhibitions and events throughout the year.
