In gathering the material, the project reflects on Polan's affinity for the US Postal Service and his commitment to mail art as a means to build networks and make connections—a practice he maintained over many years with both friends and strangers alike. The result is a new perspective on Polan's legacy, highlighted through an exchange that is playful and often touching, the contours of which offer an expanded portrait of the artist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50519917756711,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/jason-polan-the-post-office-10.jpg?v=1759943171","url":"https:\/\/checkout.walkerart.org\/products\/jason-polan-the-post-office","provider":"Walker Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
