Rafa - Could you tell us a little about your PAPER POLICE project?  Since when are you developing this project?  Only in the field of Mail Art?

Jürgen - Enclosed is an article in English on it. I do that for over 25 years now controlling waste-paper containers all over Germany. 
I take out what I consider valuable and keep it or distribute it again (like I have at this moment 15 institutions, collections, that receive material of mine) and I also distribute it as Mail Art.

Rafa - As a multidisciplinary artist that you are, have you had any experience with sound?  Have you made any recordings?  

Jürgen - Yes, I do. Most is on cassettes.

Rafa - Anna Banana told me that you were going to Maastricht to do a collage with Rod Summers. How was the experience and the result?

Jürgen - I enclose the invitation-card for that project what I did with Rod Summers just recently. We also involved 20 other artists as collaborators. I also enclose an article on that.

Per-Arne Hognert is one of our most beloved friends and companion of sound and visual adventures. To make this simple video I used the pictures taken of the postal mailings that Per-Arne sent me.  The sounds are extracted from two microcassettes that he made for me.

    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.
