Fragments are up for Auction

The gallery, submission by Alli Dandeneau, submissions

The Portuguese gallery Atelier Ghostbirds organized an international mail art exhibition in January benefiting the Fund for Global Human Rights. It featured 321 works by 184 artists from 27 countries.

For the organizers the contributions were

“a personal spark, a quiet act of resistance, a reminder that creativity travels further than any one gallery wall. Together, this dense constellation of envelopes, stamps, smudges, and marks forms a living network that echoes the Dadaists’ belief that art belongs in everyday life—and that even the most modest fragment can carry profound meaning.”

In March, all 319 pieces will be gathered again in an online fundraising auction, with 100% of proceeds supporting the Fund for Global Human Rights.
