Mapa – The Airmail Paintings of Eugenio Dittborn

2 March - 8 May 1994 in the Entire Gallery
Since 1984 Chilean artist Eugenio Dittborn has sent Airmail Paintings all over the world. At the end of each exhibition the works are folded up and posted in envelopes to their next destination. As well as travelling themselves, the works explore the idea of travel and distance.

MAPA surveys Dittborn’s paintings and features a site specific work exhibited in display cases flanking the entrance to City Gallery Wellington.

The exhibition was organised by the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London and the Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam. It is displayed at City Gallery Wellington as part of the Wellington International Festival of the Arts.
