Mail art began in the 1960s with Ray Johnson, who used the postal system to send collages, drawings, and notes as a form of artistic exchange. In Chicago, his ideas sparked a lively community of mail art clubs, turning the city into a central space for this accessible and unconventional art form. Reset learns about the history of mail art from Sofia Canale-Parola, multi-media artist and Ray Johnson Project Cataloger for the Art Institute; Derek Erdman, founder of Friend Club (Mail Art Correspondence Club); and Marissa Yelnick, member of the Friend Club.
