ABC Stampa, 2023



Curated by ABC members Louis Porter and George Gibson, ABC Stampa pays homage to Ulises Carrión’s collectively produced but unfinished Stampa Newspaper. As with Carrión’s original, artists were invited to contribute a design for a rubber stamp and to mark where on a sheet of newspaper paper they would like their stamp to be placed. As a result, two or more artists could request the same space, therefore inviting chance and coexistence to also be collaborators on the project.

Stampa is now part of the «쿵» (Thump) exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Busan, South Korea, from May 3, 2024, to December 29, 2024. The installation includes stamps from several Korean artists and has grown to feature contributions from 41 international artists.
