postcards > crox-cards

1/ KNUTS. 1994. Final project of the first crox-period (1990-1992). The title of the project is an anagram of kunst and this is the Dutch equivalent of art (tar, rat, tra, tra-ta-ta). The project got cancelled.

2/ The 2nd crox-card is the reproduction of a handwritten poem by Belgian poet Johan Joos. First publication of that poem was in Stil de grain (Ed. Bert Bakker 1989). The crox-card is based on another, handwritten version of the poem, published in the crox En Passant-catalogue (1991). Crox-card NR 2 is out of stock.

3/ is from the first edition of the Copy Art project. It is the final contribution to that first edition, by Edwin Carels. It hung in the streets of Ghent from end of August 1991 on. The work is quite an interesting invention. Carels turns the 'fig.'-indication, which one frequently traces in illustrated books, into fig. toi: imagine.

4/ is a work by Hans van Heirseele from the third edition of the same project.

Cards 1-4 are fotocopy on cardboard.

All other cards are printed matter.
