The Best of Wim T. Schippers / Ruhe, Harry ; Duchamp M ; Andre C ; Higgins D ; Maciunas G., 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-29951-31342
Scope and Contents

This book is the catalogue for the retrospective exhibition for Schippers in the Centraal Museum, Spring 1997. It includes documentary material of his Fluxus works, publications, radio shows and performances. Overlaping texts were printed in red (Flemish) and green (English) such that the opposite colored acetate sheet must be placed over the text in order for the selected language to be solely rendered visible. The envelope contains small paper reproductions of Schippers' works from the book. The presentation of text and images in this book that depend upon superimposition of colored acetate sheets is uncommon - this is the only book in the Archive so produced. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents

In his essay, "Pushing the envelope: Mail Art and the Michaels," Simon Anderson writes that both "Thomson and Hernandez de Luna paresent a sophisticated twist on this variegated [mail art] history, combining the random markers of official passage with a deliberate manipulation of the aesthetic involved; their small scale prints, connected to tahe much denser history of printmaking, dovetail at various points - inclusing teamwork, political humor nad tricksterism - with the fragmentary origins of art-through-the-mail, as this brief survey hopes to indicate." The illustrations depict the fake stamps and the cancelled stamps on envelopes indicating that the stamps went through the mail. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
