Ulises Carrión is a key figure in Mexican conceptual art as an artist, editor, curator, and theorist of the post-1960s international artistic avant-garde. In 1975, he founded Other Books and So (1975-1979), an artist-run bookshop and gallery in Amsterdam which distributed artists' publications and multiples. Carrión's interest in print culture and media led him to engage with mail art and, eventually, performance, film and video. 'The soft touch of the page, in contrast to the strong punch of the imagery, makes for a potent allusion to the exchange and repression of male sexuality' (Books by Artists).
