Abstract:

• Consists of an address book of over 1,300 index cards belonging to conceptual artist Ulises Carrión, as well as an explanation of the classification system used by Carrión to organize the cards. These cards, which Carrión referred to as his "address archive," have been updated by Carrión to include the mailings (publications, mail art, etc.) sent to each addressee. Some individuals and entities found on these address cards are Artforum, The Arts Council, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Guillermo Deisler, Robert Filliou, General Idea, Carolee Schneemann, and Printed Matter, among others. Carrión created classifications/hierarchies for these address cards, explained on two cards labeled "Vertical Signs" and "Horizontal Signs." The "Vertical Signs" and "Horizontal Signs" cards contained abbreviations Carrión used on each address card which associated artistic media and areas of specialization, respectively, with each individual or entity listed. Carrión also maintained a list of projects and publications on two other cards labeled "Mailings" and "Particular Mailings.".
