Art One/One , 1979
Art Saves Lives, 1975
The postcards are arranged and pasted in the style of Jiri Kolar collages. On the verso, there is a cryptic rubberstamped message, "just what is it that makes hamilton so different, so appealing." Hamilton might refer to a small town and the image on the recto is of three children in front of a large country house.The collage is addressed to ulises carrion. *WEB comments: Peter van Beveren 2001: I just wanted to inform you that the stamped text 'Just what is it that makes Hamilton so different', etc. does NOT refer to a small town, but is a paraphrase of the title given by the British Pop artist Richard Hamilton to his first collage, the beginning of the POP ART:' Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing'. I used this stamp from 1971 till 1975 in my correspondence with Richard Hamilton and now and than I stamped it on other cards, as the copy to Ulises Carrion, now in the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The piece consists of a small suitcase collaged with overlaid pages from a small format encyclopedia that has been printed on wood based acid paper as evidenced by the discolorations. The inside of the suitcase is also collaged with the same pages. Eight cardboard boxes are placed within the suitcase. Their labels related to their contents. For example, a box with the dictionary definition of camouflage contains a paper butterfly cut from a dictionary page that is pinned onto a dictionary page fitted to the bottom of the box. A box labeled lent contains ashes. A box labeled trinity contains an insulated electric wire with three smaller insulated electric wires against a black paper background.
