CAN I SEND A BOMB VIA USPS?

The installation Can I Send a Bomb Via USPS?, Is based on an article published in The New York Times on July 22, 2006 I was introduced by the artist Emily Jacir from Saudi Arabia as part of the residence at The Kitchen cometogether in New York. This tells how the United States unleashed a quiet campaign to supply and send weapons to Israel as part of a military agreement to assist attacks against Hesbollaz in Lebanon.The covenant with Israel was a billionaire, taking shape and the backs of the American people a new aid in a military confrontation.

This indicated the shipment and delivery of weapons exaggerated by the U.S. military. Once again the U.S. is responsible for a war which is not in your region, or against, but if you get a sense of monetary gain to the matter. The shipment of weapons was being carried out by the postal service of the U.S. armed forces.

Many times we think of the mail service (USPS) as the most efficient, most worthy of respect and reliability. In general, we feel confident to send packages by mail service of the United States. The article introduced me to ask concern the USPS letter carriers traveling in the area of Chelsea in New York a series of questions. It comes to the proposed installation Can I Send a Bomb Via USPS?, That if the public mail sent U.S. bombs to Israel? or if you could send bombs through the mail. I was walking around the Chelsea area asking the same question to the postman and then culminate in the general post office building on the street 17. Everything was filmed clandestinely "hidden" because all the carriers in the street I said it was a matter strictly forbidden to talk and conjecture federal. Also walking with an artist from Croatia and I being from Puerto Rico, the postman always watching us in a strange way to ask about it.

Making this piece was in the situation that we as consumers are in full confidence of packets sent by the USPS, but in the same way they can use the postal service to send bombs to Israel (the reality I know that the military has its own mail service and aircraft capable of carrying and sending bombs to other countries). However, it presented an opportunity to put into question as ordinary as a service is to use the mail to send a letter.
