Borders in Italy

Artists have not forgotten Padhi Friedberger

“With his mail art, Padhi Frieberger has disseminated the concerns of ecological and pacifist movements and referred to political debates.”

This statement started the international call on the subject of borders by the Italian Gallery L’A/telier. The highly topical issue is in line with the trend towards using mail art as a political tool again. After all, this non-commercial form of art has proved its worth as a medium of resistance and information in several dictatorships of Latin America and Eastern Europe during the 20th century.

All submitted works will be presented at the gallery which opens on April 19 and will remain open until May 19.
