DAVID HAMMONS Global Fax Festival Binder Limited Edition

This is a Limited Edition Global Fax Festival Binder created by David Hammons from the Global Fax Festival Event in Madrid in 2000.

This Limited Edition Binder is limited to an edition of 20.

The binder and packet contains a press packet, a brochure describing the concept of the Global Fax Festival, and a selection of examples of the faxes sent during the festival, selected by David Hammons.

The Global Fax Festival was an event conceptualized and created by David Hammons, an American artist. It was held at the Crystal Palace in Madrid, Spain from June 1st through November 6th, in 2000.

During the festival, faxes were sent from all over the world to fax machines hanging suspended from the ceiling at the Crystal Palace. At the festival, the papers being faxed were falling to the floor.

A full color brochure describes the location of the festival, as well as the concept behind it, engineered by David Hammons. This complete binder is very rare, as only 20 were produced. A CD is included with the binder packet, which contains music from the Global Fax Festival.
