 Item — Box: 125
Identifier: CC-27358-28394

Scope and Contents

Cards and objects of the same dimensions are stacked between two square, thick wooden plywood boards that are held together by two long screws with flanged nuts. The word "between" is printed on the cover board and blind embossed on the dividing handmade thick paper sheets. Most of the artwork relates directly to the theme of this assembling, e.g., 'zwischen' in German, 'between' in English. This theme is expressed in both verbal and visual images. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
