If you happen to be in Stockholm before October 5th, check out Faxination at Loyal where both production and distribution of all work will be left to the same device: the fax machine. Faxination will present a series of fax tramsmissions by a group of artists creating a “Wall of Fax”. The exhibition will expand over its course as more transmissions are received.
The fax has a truly distinct quality – a combination of some of the worst ink, paper and precision – yet the fax print rarely shows up as art. There was a call for fax machine art in 1993, 1996 and 1997. Unfortunately, no images associated with these events were found. This could be that the shows/events were as disposable as the medium. This is all the more reason to check out Faxination or fax +46 (0)8 32 44 91.
