Art 21, Inc. New York, NY
In a special collaboration with the non-profit Art21, avaf invites the global creative community to participate in comboworks by submitting their own acronyms. A recurring motif throughout avaf’s work has been the play on “avaf” as a multi-dimensional, ever-morphing acronym. Phrases using the four letters have been used as titles for works and exhibitions, even appearing in different combinations their email signatures. Participants input a four-word combination in the comboworks website, which outputs an image of the submitted phrase displayed in a custom “LED” typeface designed by the artists, allowing for each “combo” image to be shared across platforms.
