Description
Notes: 
54 slides documenting an artist book by Cha. The title is unknown. The artist book is composed of envelopes, letters, origami paper, salt, ash, earth, flour, leaves and is 1 1/2 x 3 1/2." 10 of the slides are numbered in pencil I-VIII. Also handwritten on the 10 slides is "Cha, Hak Kyung T / Art Practice / Netherlands / July 7 / 1977." The meaning of "Art Practice / Netherlands" is unclear. In 1977 Galerie Finigal, Amsterdam, Holland and Other Books and So, Amsterdam, Holland each had an exhibition of Cha's work. This work was possibly intended for the exhibitions.
Notes: 
The artist book was also possibly created for Ulises Carrion, a mail artist, gallery and bookshop owner living in Amsterdam. The original artist book is in the Carrian Archive, Geneva, Switzerland.
