Mail Art interview with Jürgen O. Olbrich (Part 2)

3/3/2019

4 Comments

 
continuation of the first Mail Art Interview with Olbrich

Rafa:
I think that, at the same time that you started doing Mail Art, you also started your activities within the field of Copy Art and Performance. Do you think there is a link between these three artistic "disciplines" or did you want to explore several artistic fields?

I have noticed that several of the Mail Artists that started their activities in the 70's were also involved in Performance Art. Do you think there is an explanation for this?
Jürgen:
Yes,  when I shared Copy Art, Performance, etc. around 1974 there were common ideas behind it all: Direct contacts, immediate expression, new media + expansion of artistic limits + social interaction.

Some critic called it “Expanded Performance” what I did.

This interview by mail continues. In fact today I sent a mail to Jürgen containing another question. This is very funny and interesting for me. Thank you very much for your time visiting these small interviews.

    In 1986, at the age of 16, I released Exenple,
    ​my first cassette of industrial music,  which I recorded with my 13-year-old brother under the name Brigada Nadie.

    I was a member of the futurist multidisciplinary group Equipo Estético Étika Makinal (or 3EM), and Spanish experimental noise band I.Q.C.M.

    Over the years I have created many solo and collaborative audio works.
    ​
    ​In recent years I have turned my attention more toward visual and mail art. I like to create collages and rubber stamp art.
