The official institutes in the art-world are often left aside by the mail-art network. Sometimes a gallery of postal museum or even a real museum exhibits a mail-art show because a mail-artists has the contacts or just needs a good place. The publications from the artworld often speak of the different 'movements' in the artworld. Slowly the movement "mail-art" is being integrated in the overviews. Have a look at:
http://the-artists.org/art-movements.cfm
What to think of this? These kind of lists aren't made by mail-artists, but by the "official art-world". If they include "us" (rather a poor selection they have), what does that mean? Are we considered a 'movement' that is about to die out?

It IS a rather meager list of Mail Artists...
Crazy list! Why such selection of artists? If they are most active now? No, it's not true! I think, much more useful lists people can find at Encyclopedies by Sztuka Fabryka or Snak-y...
