"Korm Plastics is not really a new label; in fact, it's quite ancient... Korm Plastics started life in 1984 as a cassette-label. In 1992 Korm Plastics released its first compact disc and quickly after that, Korm Plastics became linked with Staalplaat records. Until early 2003 Korm Plastics was part of Staalplaat in various guises and various projects — read more about this in the 'history' part of this website.

As my desire to release music I personally care for became stronger and stronger, I decided in early 2003 that it was time to stand on my own two feet. Korm Plastics goes underground again. I am no longer interested in being a real businessman. There is no schedule, no plan — just ideas and desires. Please do not send me demos of your music — I simply don't have the money nor the time to work on them. I only wish to work with people who I know personally and whose work I like.
The major project is going to be a series of re-issues from The Hafler Trio. All works that are long unavailable.Besides it, I, release music that I like. Simple as that."

Mail Art Show Hommage A Kurt Schwitters-(Merz Mail-Spain+Global Networking-1994)

Kurt Hermann Eduard Karl Julius Schwitters (20 June 1887 – 8 January 1948) was a German artist who was born in Hanover, Germany.
Schwitters worked in several genres and media, including Dadaism, Constructivism, Surrealism, poetry, sound, painting, sculpture, graphic design, typography, and what came to be known as installation art. He is most famous for his collages, called Merz Pictures.(from wikipedia)

This is an amazing mail art documentation about this international mail art project in which 275 artists from 37 countries sent their contributions,the documentation,printed in off set on glossy paper includes one art-work by each artist.

To conclude this post I am including here the introduction(in english) written by Merz Mail to present this very well done documentation.
Enjoy it.
