Scope and Contents This book was published on the occasion of an exhibition of Irma Balnk at the Galleria Spaziotemperaneo di Milano in November 2002. In his essay Gillo Dorfles describes Irma Blank's techniques for the blue paintings. "Indeed the artist uses both hands to fill with signs the vast canvases and the series of polyester sheets, all realized with a wholly manual, or rather 'corporal' technique.

From Boshoff "word forms and language shapes," Boshoff writes the following: Although I only began making BANGBOEK in 1978, the idea for the work originated in 1973, when I was 22. In response to a powerful religious call, I angered my parents by aborting my art studies in the final year, and instead became a lay preacher. The South African Defence Force (SADF) made things worse, pulling me in for yet another of the army's compulsory training camps. To my mind the army was...

The installation piece consisted of two speaker turntables with the recording of two different orchestras playing Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2.
