Felipe Ehrenberg: was a Mexican artist who worked in painting, drawing, printmaking, and performance, among other mediums. He also published books and magazines. His artistic career of more than 50 years covered the conceptual art of the seventies, including mail art and mimeography, a neographical technique of which he was a pioneer. He defined himself as a neologist since the seventies; the term itself is a neologism which underlines the experimental characteristics of his work. He considered himself an artist, chronicler, professor, politician, diplomatic, editor, actor, organizer, and tireless traveler.
