"we didn’t use the term Neoism until later, in early 1979. I returned to Montreal in November 1978 and I took a job as janitor. I got in touch with Vehicule Art, a local artists-run organization, and proposed a mail art event that was called Brain In the Mail. The opening of the Brain In the Mail show took place on February 14, 1979 and mostly it is considered to be the beginning of Neoism. Even though I came up with the name only a couple of months later and typed the word Neoism for the first time on a Smith-Corona typewriter on May 1, 1979, in Apt. 215, at 1100 McGregor Street, to be really exact."

“the other projects I wasn’t officially allowed to show, I exhibited in my apartment which I declared a ‘Red-Y-Made Center’ at the beginning of the state of war in Poland (December 13, 1981). In its lifetime (December 1984 - October 1988), the Red-Y-Made Center organized unofficial and uncensored exhibitions for 68 artists from 17 countries.” Schulz, Thomasz: Tobeornot, oder ein Mailartist in einem totalitären Land sein, in: Mail Art – Osteuropa im internationalen Netzwerk, Schwerin, 1996, p. 248.

Comment: In his Mail Art work Paulo Bruscky deals with a recurring phenomena of sending through the postal system. Time by time correspondences are returned by the post. This happens for various reasons: either the addressed party moved and didn’t send a notice in time for all of his correspondents or the artists’ communication was hindered by political powers.

Bruscky was collecting the postal marks for at least 3 years before finishing his project. These official signs are documenting the absence of communication.
