UNCOVERED (2016)

UNCOVERED” is a one-off publication that bring the homeless newspaper back to life. This was the final piece of the social artistic project “UNDERCOVER”. Here Pierre Mertens and Dries Segers took on the role of notaries, selling places that occupy the homeless in Antwerp’s city center. The production of this newspaper was co-financed with the income from these public sales, so that the profit is entirely returned to the benefit of the homeless.

“UNCOVERED” is an artist’s edition where new and existing work by committed artists are housed next to each other.
