Pushing the Envelope

Studio 360

Stephen Malinowski heard our request for mail art and decided to do a little experiment. He tested the post office to see what they would and wouldn’t deliver by mailing not one, or two, but 100 pieces of mail art to our office, including crumpled envelopes, tissue paper, pieces of wood, Astroturf, even a postage scale with our address written on the side in permanent marker. Kurt Andersen spoke with Malinowski about the project he called “The scientific method as art.”
