This booklet is the first artist’s book by Michelangelo Pistoletto in a limited edition of 60 copies as is stated by him in a publication of Musée d’Art Contemporain in Lyon in France: “Michelangelo Pistoletto Continenti del Tempo”, 2001.
The text is both in Italian and English, the latter being very uncommon at the time! The first line in the book may be considered as the kernel of the whole manifesto and states what it means to be an artist:
“When a man realizes that he has two lives – an abstract one for his mind and a concrete one which is also for his mind – he ends up either like a mad-man, who, out of fear, hides one of his lives and plays the other as a role, or like the artist, who has no fear and who is willing to risk both of them.”

Originally this poster was clandestinely distributed on the streets in Toronto.
Glenn Ligon is at the forefront of a generation of artists who came to prominence in the late 1980s with conceptually based work that investigates the social, linguistic, and political constructions of race, gender, and sexuality.

In 2000 Galerie van Gelder invited Henk Peeters for a solo exhibition for which he proposed to cover the gallery space with artificial grass and cow hides on the walls. For that an invitation card was made that he apparently liked and commented with ‘Mooi!’, meaning ‘Beautiful!.

Het Arnhemse kunstenaarsinitiatief Oceaan startte in de zomer van 1991 de ‘Tentoonstelling per Post’. Onder het motto “Oceaan komt naar U toe!’, had Hester Oerlemans van Oceaan zeefdrukken gemaakt met vier kunstenaars: Rob Birza, Kees Goudzwaard, Annemie van Kerckhoven en Geert de Rooij. Wie deze vier kunstwerken wilde bekijken, hoefde niet naar Arnhem te gaan. Na overmaking van honderd gulden kreeg je ze thuis gestuurd, en daar kon je je eigen tentoonstelling inrichten. “Ik wilde er iets spannends van maken,” vertelde Hester Oerlemans. “Normaal ga je naar een galerie met allerlei verwachtingen, op basis van de uitnodiging, of een affiche. Wij willen die gang van zaken met dit project doorbreken, en de tentoonstelling zo verrassend mogelijk houden. Dus pas als je thuis per post de zeefdrukken hebt gekregen, weet je hoe de tentoonstelling er uit ziet.”
