About this Item

pp. (32). Early conceptual text booklet by the Columbian artist Raul Marroquin, who was a resident at the Jan van Eyck academy in Maastricht from 1971 to 1974. Taking advantage of the totally open atmosphere at the academy, Marroquin initiated numerous local and international collaborations. In 1973, under the name Equipo Movimiento, Marroquin and Young Tchong organised Body Monuments Inc., a rather dangerous live performance in which a hydraulic fork-lift truck placed two living people in the empty niches of the old Bonnefanten museum façade in Maastricht. Contemporary to this performance, Marroquin and Young Tchong produced this mail-art inspired booklet, in collaboration with the artist-run Amsterdam space, the In-out Centre. The book consists of several instructional typed event scores, including Telephone Piece, House Number Piece, Tourist Piece, and Post-Card Piece. Published in an edition of 100 hand-numbered copies, with several rubber-stamps, including one of the Jan van Eyck Academy, and one merely stating ?Be Happy? Side stapled plain wrappers. Few fingermarks and slight yellowing to covers.
