The Latvian comics magazine “kuš!“ invited international artists to contribute a drawing with the topic “The Last Match”. The pictures all have the minimal size of 0,00166 m² and are collected in matchboxes. The collection keeps on growing and travels the world. In March 2010 it was made up of 190 works of art by artist from 40 countries and was shown in Riga, Lissabon and Linz. The idea was created during the hardship of the financial crisis and the result is probably the smallest big exhibition of the world. The topic itself may also be interpreted in terms of the crisis – if you want to think positive, you can see that you can achieve great things with a small budget.
