Ulises Carrion

About

Ulises Carrion, a luminary of conceptual artistry, has left a legacy that reverberates in the liminal spaces between art and language. Operating within the temporal bounds of 2003 to 1979, Carrion's work traverses the interdisciplinary landscape with a sculptural sensibility. In Poland, his creative explorations yielded a rich collection of formats—cassettes, magazines, a singular LP, and a poster—each echoing his manifesto, The New Art of Making Books. This seminal text reshaped the boundaries of book art, positioning Carrion as a pivotal figure in the genre's evolution. The Poet's Tongue, released on Alga Marghen and Guy Schraenen Éditeur, captures his experimental narratives, while untitled (1978) emerges self-released, a personal dialog with sound. His 1979 work, Mail Art and the Big Monster, exists not only as a poster but as an artifact of his process-driven approach to mail art—a networked form of communication and creation. Contents (Remont Gallery) Polen 1976 further showcases his dynamic engagement with artistic formats, reinforcing his role in the avant-garde aesthetics of his era.
