Virtual Artist Talk: Miranda July on Mail Art
Join filmmaker, artist, and author Miranda July for a conversation exploring the history and practice of mail art, a form of art making that has re-emerged during our current moment of social distancing. July discusses her unique approach to correspondence as artistic practice, while looking at the work of Ray Johnson, an artist associated with Pop, Fluxus, and Conceptual art, and an early pioneer of mail art.
Miranda July is joined by Caitlin Haskell, Gary C. and Frances Comer Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
