CROSSES OF THE EARTH

Mail Art Networking Project

H o m a g e   T o   A l l   I n d i g e n o u s   P e o p l e

A contemporary art installation with the participation of more than 340 artists from mother earth by Hans Braumüller supported by CONANCIN

Since 1996 I have been inviting to artists in the world by means of the post, and from 1998 by e-mail, to send a cross in homage to indigenous peoples. This networking mail art project would present crosses of models of artistic and indigenous integration: the collective network that develops an amplified art action, the electronic and virtual dimension “Crosses of the Earth” under http://earth.crosses.net, the carrying out of the installation in the Central Hall of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Santiago de Chile, and its initiation in an indigenous ceremony.
