Working Day and Night, 1989

 Item — Box 107
Identifier: CC-09851-10045
Scope and Contents

This work shows a balcony with books, very much like the Sackner Archive. The artist confirmed that he had no idea of this when he did the work. In the bottom center, a child is seated at a round table. Through two large windows are a day time and a night time scene. The frame is covered with dense hand-lettered text on topology. The top and bottom edges are written backwards and can be read with a small mirror provided by the artist. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
