Global Fax Festival. David Hammons 2000

It is new, unopened, packaging intact. First Edition. The Global Fax Festival was an event created at the Crystal Palace in Madrid from June 1 - November 6, 2000, during which fax machines were suspended from the ceiling of the gallery and the faxes that were sent to the machines by artists from all over the world rained down on the room. The present binder includes a substantial selection of the faxes received during the festival. David Hammons, an African-American artist well known for his African American Flag painting which is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, won a MacArthur Fellowship Award in 1991 and was recently the subject of a major exhibition at the L & M Arts gallery in New York City 4to, publisher's clear plastic binder containing loose sheets, a compact disk, and a full color brochure.

Artist book product of the interactive exhibition Global Fax Festival orchestrated by Hammons at the Palacio de Cristal, halfway between mail art and net art. It collects hundreds of sheets of paper corresponding to the faxes that, after being sent to different parts of the world by visitors from machines suspended from the ceiling of the hall, fall to the floor to form part of the exhibition and, once it closes, of the publication. It includes a poster, two brochures and a CD with the soundtrack that accompanied this edition of the Global Fax Festival.
