Description
Mungo Thomson: Mail is an artist's book compendium that documents the accumulation of incoming mail at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Artist Mungo Thomson invited the museum to let its mail accumulate unopened during an exhibition, resulting in a temporary archive of correspondence and packages. The book features every item from the mail pile, including letters, packages, notices, magazines, flyers, restaurant menus, and junk mail, all presented in a design reminiscent of a popular mail-order catalog. An essay by Hammer Museum curator Aram Moshayedi provides context for the work, exploring both the artwork and the museum's infrastructure. This book functions as both an artwork and a detailed documentation of Thomson's process, offering a unique insight into the creation of Mail.
