The prints are composed of scanned handwritten, lower case, colored text placed in rectangular grids. The calligraphy is so precise that on first glance it appears to be computer or typewritten generated text.

This present graphic representation, however, began as an improvision when Kaprow, playing with a set of rubber stamp letters, stamped out each word of the scenario on a separate index card. I continued the game by assembling the cards on the copyboard of a graphic arts camera and shooting themby adding an element of color play. The resulting object os not, however, a final one in any sense. While the original acenario may be read by starting from bottom to top, right hand column to left hand, on the silver, blue, red, yellow, and, finally, brown sheets, there are other stories which the reader is invited to tell, other games for him to play." Kaprow died at age 78 years in San Diego on April 5, 2006 --...
