^Last TRAX (Offset booklet, 60 p., + 12 stamps, 4 postcards, 3 stickers and one
record in black vinyl, 1987). The publ. is an illustrated summing up report (with a
theoretical introduction by V. Baroni and a retrospective essay by P. Ciani) about
the TRAX activities (text: Italian and English). Further→ TRAX / Literature
Literature: «...I think (an I hope!) that also most of the more mail artists feel the ambiguity and
the fraily of the Eternal network as it works now: there is a swarming variety of
mail-art shows every month, and thousand of individuals spending money to keep
an enormous emount of cards and envelopes circulating in the postal systems of half
the countries of the world, but the network lacks completely a clear idea of what
they are all doing and why. (...) First of all, the stress in this expression is on a twoway-communication,
that would be enough to determine a radical change in the way
of doing and divulging art...»

(Arte Postale!, #56): «Documentation of an amusing mail-art project. Entitled „Mail
Art and Money Do Mix“ this volume tells of the editor sending out legal tender in
respectable amounts (like $20 in the currency of the recipient's country) attached to
a form letter with one of 5 options selected for the receiver then to do with the
money. Among which are: drink to Baroni's health with it, buy Baroni a „compulsory
gift“, for use as a payment to make the receiver stop sending „that awful mail
art“, as a phony chain letter, and as incentive to xerox loads of the recipient's
wonderful mail art. Needless to say, the results are very humorous and this to my
mind is a welcome relief from the bulk of mindless mail art I receive. If you can get
a copy of this, do. It's great.» ( Lloyd → Dunn: Mail Review. In: PhotoStatic. N° 27,
