Note that this event takes place at the NY Art Book Fair (MoMA PS1, 22-01 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City).
To mark the release of Jason Polan: The Post Office, newly published by Printed Matter, Inc., project editor and designer Jason Fulford will be joined in discussion by radio producer Starlee Kine and illustrator Richard McGuire about the correspondence practice of artist and illustrator Jason Polan, and his longtime affinity for the US Postal Service. The conversation will look to the trove of drawings, letters, objects, and ephemera that Polan exchanged through the mail with friends, fans and penpals around the world, considering how these playful and often moving exchanges offered a way to forge new connections, and gave us a portrait of the artist himself.
