Art Metropole, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. November 17 - December 8, 1984. Exhibition poster. Black offset lithograph printed on newsprint. Folded. Very good condition. Unfolded: 23 x 17". "Positing 1960 (or 1957 in the present instance) as the starting point, and limiting our attention to so-called avant-garde practice, the archive of Art Metropole can be seen as a descriptive field of contemporary artistic and cultural concerns. Alongside documents of the legitimized movements of the fifties and sixties - Fluxus, Pop Art, Minimal Art, Arte Povera - we find evidence of those vanguard precursors - Dada, Surrealism and Futurist art - which together inform the bulk of the archive's content: the fragments, known collectively as Conceptual art, and the manifestations which continue to give life to many of the principles activated by that network of ideas."

Very good condition. Overall: 10.25 x 7". Unpaginated.

Trademark invites you to introduce yourself, to briefly formulate your views, to categorize your preferences, to deconstruct a thought that arises in you and to consider the material form this thought could acquire. The questionnaire is a beginning. It will indicate an outline. Starting from this we will engage in a dialogue concerning the materialization of your thoughts. Together we will exchange visual associations, produce sketches and ultimately arrive at a design of the artwork you conceived."

EARTHWORKS. Dwan, New York, NY. October 5, 1968. Announcement card. Color. Sand on cardboard. Excellent minus condition. Slight wear at 2 corners. 9 x 12". "VIRGINIA DWAN: In the late spring of '68, when we still hadn't found land in New Jersey to put these earthworks on, because that's what we were looking for, we decided that there was so much energy behind the whole concept -- there was so much of a need to get this, to move this out into the world, that we wanted to find some vehicle, and the only thing that seemed available was the gallery space, which was very definitely our last choice. To me, the "Earthworks" show was one of the most important things of my art career. Of course, not just because of the show itself, but because it heralded a whole interest that became more and more consuming, to me. To me, earthwork and minimal art were kind of the high points of my gallery." Reference: pp. 40-41 (Tape 7), pp. 13-14 (Tape 8) VIRGINIA DWAN. Interview by Charles F. Stuckey.
