Unbound. Condition: Fine. Exhibition poster. Design by Jacqueline S. Casey. 17½" x 23". Rolled, else fine. ZONE (1967-1973) was a company of "artist-technician-performers" that created large-scale, multimedia "visual theater performance" productions. The American Federation of Information Processing Societies (AFIPS) commissioned ZONE to create Computer Theatre, a production of electronic synthesizer compositions by Gerald Shapiro, Brown University's electronic music studio director. This poster was produced on occasion of the performances at the Kresge Auditorium at MIT, May 14-16, 1969. We have come across a variant of this poster lacking the woman in the center; we prefer this version.

First Edition
Unbound. Condition: Near Fine. Exhibition poster. Designed by Jacqueline Casey. Measuring approximately 19½" x 25½". Paper-backed metallic foil printed in yellow and black. Old folds as issued. One horizontal crease was partially split and has been neatly strengthened the width of the poster, a couple of tiny splits at the folds and edges, a bright, nicely preserved near fine example of a somewhat temperamental poster, presumably fabricated to be a kinetic sculpture in its own right. This striking poster was designed by noted MIT graphic designer Jacqueline Casey, and the show featured work by major figures in the field of kinetic art: (Jean-Pierre) Yvaral, Guenther Uecker, Gerald Oster, Earl Reiback, Len Lye, Takis (Panagiotis Vassilakis), and Hans Haacke. *OCLC* locates a single copy, at MIT.
