Offset printed card sent through
the post as the exhibition’s announcement card
with guidelines on how to make a work of thoughtful art
where a thought has not as yet
been cut out from the square above

Encyclopaedia of Thoughtful Art
To make a work of thoughtful art please follow the guidelines below.

  1. From the square above cut out a thought into a shape and lean it next to number 1.
  2. From this thought cut out its anger and place it on the plinth at number 2.
  3. From this anger cut out its love and place it at number 3.
  4. From this love cut out its understanding and return it to where the thought had first been taken, at number 4.
  5. Now ask a passer-by the time [21:57] and the date [Freitag.13.10].
