Exhibition
EUGENIO DITTBORN Airmail Paintings
Organised by Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art
The first exhibition of Chilean artist Eugenio Dittborn’s work in the UK since 1993, includes historical and new works, sent to the gallery using couriers, honouring his renowned use of airmail. Since the 1980s, Dittborn’s large-scale works which bear found images and texts, have been folded and dispatched in airmail envelopes to galleries worldwide, surmounting restrictions of movement created by national borders, oppressive governments, and geographical distance.
