"Mail art is art which uses the postal system as a medium. - Mail art
is also, simultaneously, a message that is sent, the medium through
which it is sent as well as one of the longest-lasting art movements in
history. To be precise, an amorphous international mail art network
evolved of thousands of participants in over fifty countries between
the 1950s and the 1990s from the work of Ray Johnson and influenced by
earlier groups, including Dada and Johnson contemporaries in the
Fluxus group."*
The Tate Modern Gallery, London is sorely lacking in examples of Mail Art for a permanent exhibition of Mail Art.

The style, subject matter, and media are open to the individual artist\'s desecration.

Today,
there are over 500 companies listed on Froogle as trading in Mail Art
memorabilia and thousands of informational internet sites and
galleries. However, mainstream galleries and critics do little to
publicise or promote the art form and artists. Mail Art is major
sociological phenomenon which has been under-represented in the art
world for too long.
Bankside
The purpose of this call for Mail
Art is that artists contribute (donate) one or more piece of their work
which is drawn, printed or painted onto an envelope, parcel or postcard
to the Tate Modern Gallery, London on or before April Fool\'s Day.
