Contains statement by the artists on the definition of an Artist Book. This catalogue provides documentation of the artist's activities often accompanied by photographic reproductions.

This issue is dedicated to "areas of art that openly disregard boundaries and deal quite explicitly with contaminations - of painting and sign, of sign and sound, of sculpture and installation, of space and event. The themes of sound and silence - which typically relate to music - rank now as one of the central concerns of contemporary research in the arts. This issue is extensively illustrated with works of the featured artist/poets, e.g., a suite of calligraphic drawings by Guillot and visual poetic collages by Miccini. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
