Artist: Thomas Hirschhorn

Alfonso Artiaco presents EX-VOTO-TOMBOLA, the sixth solo show by Thomas Hirschhorn at the gallery.

The exhibition "EX-VOTO-TOMBOLA" reunites about 300 works (cardboard, printed matter, felt-pen, ballpoint-pen, paper, tape) from the series 'POST'. I made them during 2025 and 2026, and posted some of them (therefore the title 'POST') on my Instagram-Account.

The works are exhibited in the gallery space like 'Ex-Voto' in a church, each 'POST' keeps its autonomy, they are hung close to each other, without hierarchy nor classification.

Each 'Post'-work is numbered on the back in advance. Each exhibited 'Post'-work can be purchased for 1000 Euros, but the purchaser cannot choose the work. The purchaser must pick, without visibility, a numbered paper, and by chance will get the corresponding numbered work.

The "TOMBOLA" part wants to 'un-digitalize' and also 'popularize' the 'Post'-works. The "TOMBOLA" part is an entity inherent to this specific exhibition and will end with its dismantling.

It’s a new proposal for acquiring an artwork. Therefore, the 'Post'-works included in "EX-VOTO-TOMBOLA" will not be available at the gallery after the end of the exhibition.
