Imprint 93 is the first archive exhibition of Matthew Higgs’ collaborative 1990s mail art project.

Matthew Higgs produced and distributed more than fifty works through his publishing project Imprint 93 between 1993 and 1998. An administrator at an advertising agency by day and influential curator by night, Higgs invited artists to create works of art that could fit inside an envelope to be distributed, unsolicited, by mail to an informal group of friends, artists, and curators. Financed by himself and printed on an office photocopier, Imprint 93 served as an ongoing curatorial project which did not require a space, circumvented traditional art world structures, and offered a unique platform and network for artists to distribute their work.

The artists involved in Imprint 93 were often at the beginnings of their careers, working on the periphery of the then emerging 'YBA' movement. The artists whose works will be exhibited include Peter Doig, Bob and Roberta Smith, Chris Ofili, Hillary Lloyd, and Jessica Voorsanger, among others.
