Remota : pinturas aeropostales: Eugenio Dittborn

At the height of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, Eugenio Dittborn (b. 1943) began to produce works that would circumvent both the state censors as well as the cultural boycott imposed on Chile from the outside. Produced from imagery whose range included historical engravings, old police photos, drawings by schizophrenics and current mass media, the airmail paintings, once made, were folded and placed in customized envelopes, which were then exhibited alongside the works. The 240-page catalog, designed by Guillermo Feuerhake and Eugenio Dittborn, contains essays by Dan Cameron, Guy Brett, Sean Cubitt, Gonzalo Munoz, Gerardo Mosquera, Robert Merino and Adriana Valdes.
