What are Artist Trading Cards?
"ARTIST TRADING CARDS are
miniature works of art created on 2 ½ X 3 ½ inch or 64 X 89 mm card
stock. They are originals, small editions and, most importantly,
self-produced. anybody can produce them. The idea is that you
trade them with other people who produce cards, either at TRADING
SESSIONS or wherever you meet another ATC trader in person. It
is important that you meet other people in person to trade - i.e. it
is ok to trade by mail or to participate in editions but the main
purpose of this performance is the trading session and the personal
meeting.
...the project was initiated
in 1997 by zurich artist m.vänçi stirnemann. since then several
hundred people from all over the world have traded ATCs during
TRADING SESSIONS..." ~ the original
