Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:: I have been involved in Mail Art since the fall of the Berlin Wall, when I began sending my own films through the postal system as artistic gestures of connection and exchange.

My Website (without http://):: http://www.larsschumacher.art

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:: Lars Schumacher’s involvement in international Mail Art is rooted in a fundamental understanding of what this global network truly is: a living system of exchange, trust, and artistic generosity. Mail Art has never been an institution — it is a community built through action. One becomes part of it not by declaration, but by sending, receiving, responding, and initiating. Schumacher’s practice embodies exactly this principle.

His ongoing Mail Art calls — such as Heimat, Sehnsucht nach einem Gefühl, Tempelhof, or Fluxus 2025 — position him not only as a participant but as an active node within the network. Calls are the connective tissue of Mail Art: they invite strangers, dissolve hierarchies, and create temporary communities around shared themes. By organizing them, Schumacher contributes to the self‑renewing structure that has sustained Mail Art since the 1960s.

What distinguishes his role is the way he frames these calls. Rather than treating them as mere collection mechanisms, he uses them as conceptual frameworks:

Heimat becomes a reflection on belonging and displacement.

Sehnsucht nach einem Gefühl explores emotional memory as a transnational language.

Tempelhof invokes a site charged with history, mobility, and transformation.

Fluxus 2025 situates Mail Art within a lineage of performative, process‑based art that resists commodification.

Through these themes, Schumacher creates spaces of resonance where contributors from different countries can respond with their own cultural, political, and personal perspectives. This dialogical structure is central to Mail Art’s ethos: the artwork is not the object alone, but the network of responses it generates.

Moreover, Schumacher’s own outgoing works — painterly, tactile, and unmistakably his — circulate internationally and act as ambassadors of his artistic language. Each postcard becomes a travelling micro‑exhibition, carrying his visual vocabulary into mailboxes, archives, and collections across the world. In doing so, he strengthens the reciprocal bonds that define Mail Art: to send is to connect; to receive is to continue the chain.

His practice therefore situates him as both contributor and catalyst.
He participates, but he also initiates.
He responds, but he also sets impulses.
He is embedded in the network because he helps sustain it.

In the tradition of Ray Johnson’s Correspondence School, Fluxus exchange structures, and the decentralized Mail Art communities of the late 20th century, Schumacher’s work affirms that Mail Art is not a genre but a social sculpture — one that only exists through the people who keep it alive.
