The Acua room of the regional University, the Antonio Pérez Foundation and the Museum of Graphic Works of San Clemente host the exhibition and editorial project 'Add and Return' of the International Museum of Electrography - Center for Innovation in Art and New Technologies (MIDE-CIANT) of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). This initiative shows the works of 43 artists and was born with the aim of celebrating the 30 years of this museum.

These works come from the generous donations received at MIDE-CIANT/UCLM at the end of 2018 from the private collections of the artists Cesar Reglero, Valdor (Salvador Benincasa) and Antonio S. Ibirico. Collections composed of his own works and private collections. In 2020 we received the donation from the artists and editors Alfonso Aguado, Pere Sousa, José Emilio Antón and Manuel Xio, to which in this year 2021 are added the donations from the artists Diego Segura, Lois Gil Magariños, the collection of the Fira Mágica of Santa Susana, and the private collection of Marta Nieves Vaquero, widow of the email artist Nel Amaro.

Mail Art is included within the alternative movements of international activists and artists that emerged since the 1960s, which includes multiple expressive media that are disseminated using the postal medium. In parallel to the development of Copy Art, Visual Poetry, Performance, Happenings and other conceptual artistic forms.
