page 3 – cut with a pair of scissors
page 5 – wrinkle and throw away
page 7 – cut with a pair of scissors
page 9 – tear
page 11 – soak in water
page 13 – hang in open window
page 15 – burn rest of the book and keep in plastic bag.

Marinus Boezem is known for his radical view of art. Together with Wim T. Schippers, Ger van Elk and Jan Dibbets, Boezem is seen as one of the main representatives of conceptual art and arte povera in the Netherlands in the late 1960s.
