The work ‘Paper Events’ is a DIY multiple. There are instructions for a do-it-yourselfer. Nevertheless, the cover and the first page inside have already been done by Marinus Boezem. From page three further instructions are given:
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.

This wooden cube was purchased in Other Books and So (Ulises Carrión) in Amsterdam. When I met John Liggins later on I asked him at a certain point what is inside. He said: “For that you have to break it open”. I never came any further than shaking the very light box hearing a sound as if a folded piece of paper is in there….

Extra information
My hidden feelings is depicted in a documentation box with loose sheets op paper. In 1980 John Liggins produced this cardboard box in which his works and activities are documented. It includes photos, printed matter, press material, etc. This box came in an edition of 25 copies, signed and numbered on a label.

extremely rare

On the couver of this publication Catherine David wrote a short introduction on the work of Thomas Hirschhorn. Inside there are merely full page pictures of street situations and gallery installation views that look like taken in the streets. The brochure gives the impression that one deals with an artist’s book. This publication is extremely hard to find.

This catalogue contains loose cards with an “Index” card on the top part of the stack showing a list of 59 artists, although a “Contents” card at the bottom of the stack shows an extended and final list of 82 participating artists.
The names in bold are only featured on the “Index” card and for some reason they don’t appear on the more elaborated loose list of “Contents” at the end of the stack.
