This edition is part of a special Hundertmark Edition Box with works of 23 artists Armin Hundertmark worked with. The artists contributed to this box on behalf of the 10th anniversary of the publisher and gallerist Hundertmark.
Eric Andersen thought it appropriate to give the owner of the box to tear a page out of his booklet for having it glued to another contribution. The tab reads: ‘FOR YOUR COMFORT. Glue on this art-collection-tab any art-work from the also enclosed 10th anniversary Hundertmark Edition box.’

“Not every love is forever, nor is an unimaginable longevity necessary in order that a love qualify as memorable. I once derived a great deal of pleasure as well as artistic inspiration (and eventually, some pain, I must admit) from a sexual and intellectual friendship with an emotionally thrifty (as he himself would be the first to admit) but very beautiful gentleman from a neighbouring country, north of Berlin, my adopted home, and whom I’m so glad I met long ago.
“These recordings were made for him, to give him pleasure, and pride in his being, as well as for myself, so that I could continue my immersion in our relationship when, for short periods, we were apart…..”

This cloth object with Italian text is a reproduction of the artist’s handwriting. Guglielmo Achille Cavellini is a prominent Mail Artist, associated with the Poesia Visiva movement. In 1971 he invented autostoricizzazione (self-historicization), upon which he acted to create a deliberate popular history surrounding his existence, preferably in his personal handwriting. He was well known for his performances in lettered suits and this self-created historification from birth until 2037, including the announcements on his various years of death.

John M Armleder contributed to the Art Information Festival in Middelburg, Netherlands in 1975. This Festival was initiated and organised by Peter van Beveren.

‘The idea of John and his Ecart Performance Group consisted of a performance based on a composition for three musicians and a conductor. In preparation for the concert, they spent a few days with me in Middelburg, as you can read in the sender’s details, id est “Ecart Publications” at the Art Information Center.
Through this edition, the concert was announced to, among others, around 20 people and institutions as a “Concert Piece Project” with the title “Chant Piano, Seul Chant”. The small stamps were part of my stamps with which I decorated correspondences and are here symbolic of the number of objects that were part of the concert.’
‘The piece of music set up by John Armleder consisted of three gentlemen sitting behind a table, namely John Armleder, Patrick Lucchini and Carlos Garcia. There were dozens of small items on the table, from toys to shredded paper. I was the conductor and with my baton, standing behind a lectern, I indicated who had to make as much noise as possible with the object of my choice for a few seconds. A score of John’s concept was handed out to the public.’
Peter van Beveren in a mail d.d. 9 August 2019

Sigurdur Gudmundsson once said: ‘I feel most at home in a country where I don’t speak the language, because then I have to use other senses to understand what the other means or says. I have to use sign language to make me understandable.’ Maybe this attitude has helped him to come to this renowned work ‘Event’ he made in 1975 as one of the first works in his photo series “Situations”.
Sigurdur Gudmundsson heeft ooit eens gezegd: “Ik voel mij het meeste thuis in een land waarvan ik de taal niet spreek, want dan moet ik andere zintuigen gebruiken om te begrijpen wat de ander bedoelt of zegt. Ik moet gebarentaal toepassen om mij begrijpbaar te maken.” Misschien heeft deze houding hem geholpen om het vermaarde werk ‘Event’ in 1975 te maken dat het begin werd van zijn reeks unieke fotowerken ‘Situaties’.
