The E-Mail Interview with Guy Bleus / Janssen, Ruud., 1998

 Item
Identifier: CC-32919-34535
Scope and Contents

Bleus states, "In netland a lot of artists can find a constructional and satisfying alternative for the morbid situation of the contemporary arts-industry. Mail-art has no real manifestos, restrictions or rules. Yet, the strict indications to organize a project, (no fee, no jury, no returns, and a catalogue to every participant), must be respected. Only the implementation of these basic rules will maintain the everlasting network during the new millennium. Mail-art is an alliance of marginal networkers. They know that netland is not utopia, but it is a good place to live." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
