Jason Polan: The Post Office

by

Jason Polan: The Post Office , edited by Jason Fulford, and published by Printed Matter, Inc. is a love letter to artist and illustrator Jason Polan. The publication gathers together an eclectic selection of materials Polan exchanged through the mail with friends, fans and penpals, as well as the artwork that he in turn received, including whimsical drawings, elaborately embellished envelopes, and short text works. This project reflects on Polan’s affinity for the US Postal Service and his commitment to mail art as a means to build networks and make connections — a practice he maintained over many years with both friends and strangers alike. T he result is a new perspective on Polan’s legacy, highlighted through exchanges that were playful and often touching, the contours of which offer an expanded portrait of the artist as correspondent and friend.
