THE MAILBOX DROP PRESENTS
THE FINE
PRINT
Things we probably didn’t need to say.
Every Mailbox Drop contains work from five artists, built around one theme.
It also contains something else.
A small piece of extremely important information.
“Important” may be overstating it.
Actually, it almost certainly is.
01
HOW DID
WE GET HERE?
It started, as these things often do, with a mailbox.
We wanted to send people art.
The mailbox had some concerns.
At first, we considered these concerns to be outside the scope of the project.
The mailbox disagreed.
Strongly.
Since then, relations have deteriorated.
Our respective representatives have advised us not to comment further.
Naturally, we have created an entire page about it.
02
FIRST THE
MAILBOX.
THEN THE
INTERNET.
Every edition contains its own piece of Fine Print.
We could put it here immediately.
We’re not going to.
The people who receive the Drop get it first.
Once the edition has made its way through the postal system, survived the journey, and landed safely in mailboxes, we’ll reveal it here.
Until then, the internet will simply have to cope.

DISCOVERY
We know what it says.
You don’t.
This arrangement is working perfectly well for us.

12 DROPS.
12 PIECES OF
FINE PRINT.
One new piece with every edition.
One increasingly unnecessary dispute.
Twelve months to sort it out.
Probably.
Some developments may contain warnings.
Others may involve formal complaints, strongly worded correspondence, or matters we have been advised not to discuss.
None have been reviewed by a lawyer.
This may eventually prove significant.
THE STORY BEGINS WITH DROP 001.
FIVE ARTISTS. ONE THEME. ONE DROP.
No algorithm required.
