Guy Bleus (born October 23, 1950 in Hasselt, Belgium) is an artist associated with the mail art movement and performance art. His work covers different areas, including administration (which he calls ''Artministration''), postal and olfactory communication.〔() Prof. Dr. Van den Bossche, Marc. ''The ‘system’ – Guy Bleus as a critic of technical thinking'', in: ''Pêle-Mêle: Guy Bleus® – 42.292'', Hasselt, 2010〕 ==Art and archive== In 1978 he founded ''The Administration Centre – 42.292'' which became a huge art archive with works and information of 6000 artists from more than 60 countries. “Guy Bleus has one of the finest archives of mail art in Europe, if not the world.”〔Held, Jr., John. ''Mail Art: An Annotated Bibliography'', Metuchen, 1991〕 Bleus was the first artist who systematically used scents in plastic arts. Since 1979 he showed ''smell paintings'', mailed ''perfumed objects'' and made ''aromatic installations''; he also created ''spray performances'' where he sprayed a mist of fragrance over the audience.〔Hermans, Ivan. ''Guy Bleus'' in: ''High Performance'', Issue 22, Vol.6, n°2, 1983〕〔( www.artpool.hu ) Olfactive installation 1998〕 Exploring the possibilities of communication media as art media, he investigated the postal system in ''Indirect correspondence'' (1979) and searched for an alternative postal system in ''Airmail by balloons''. Together with Charles François he was a pioneer using a computer connected to a modem for artistic communication (in 1989). He also applied reproduction media such as Microfilm, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM for artistic reasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guy Bleus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
