Ulises Carrión was a Mexican conceptual artist, editor, curator, and theorist of the post-1960s international artistic avant-garde. Carrión arrived at visual art practice through his interest in print culture and media, which led him to engage with mail art and eventually performance, film, and video. From the 1970s to the end of his life, Carrión was based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where he founded Other Books and So, a distribution centre for artists' publications and multiples.
