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.
