Ulises Carrión, considered as "perhaps Mexico’s most important conceptual artist", is widely known for his decisive role in defining and conceptualising the artistic genre of artists' book through his manifesto The New Art of Making Books (1975). But his awareness and interest in new forms of art and innovative operations suggests that he was active in most of the artistic fields of his time. His activities include the creation of artworks, the development of theory, and the generation of multiple independent initiatives. Carrión's works include not only a great number of bookworks - as he named artists' books - and unique artworks, but also performances, film, video, and sound works. Carrión also did several editing, publishing, and curation projects, a couple of notable public projects, and various significant works and initiatives within the international community of mail artists during its most creative period. Equally essential for his artistic career is his engagement in several artists' run spaces. All his artistic activities are based off of and effected by his highly elaborate theories.
