KOMPLET SÆT af ta’ BOX nr 1, 2, 3 and 4. Ultra-rare and important Fluxus Zone North / Avant-Garde Art publication – 1st (and only) edition – complete set of all the distributed issues
Copenhagen: Fluxus Zone Nord / Panel 13, 1969. Concrete poetry, ‘objects trouvées’, and Fluxus items pages and inserts by a.o.: Hein Heinsen, Bjørn Nørgaard, Lene Adler Pedersen Henning Christiansen, Per Kirkeby. The condition is variable like is always with this work: condition of issue one is unopened, issue two very good, three has as always heavy discoloring because the small plastic container with the rose cream that John Davidsen added to the set has imploded over the years – a phenomenon comparable to the balloon in Andy Warhol’s Index Book. The cake that belonged to issue four is still there. More photos available upon request.
First edition / første udgave, 1ste (og eneste) oplag. – In: Thomas Hvid Kromann: ‘Time Capsule from the Sixties – Ta’ BOX (1969–1970)’, in: ‘A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1950-1975’, p.209. – Der findes ligeledes en fin lille film om produktionen af nr. 1, som kan ses online på biblioteket. Ultra-rare and important Fluxus Zone North / Avant-Garde Art publications – complete set of the issues. Number two and a half was only sold (or given away) at the Festival 200 at Charlottenborg and is not included here.
1st (and only) editions. A Danish variant of the avantgarde Assembling magazine, like Aspen Magazine Box or like William Copley’s S.M.S (SHIT MUST STOP) and maybe especially echoing Wolf Vostell and Joseph Beuys Decollage magazines – Beuys used a chocolate bar, here it was a heart shaped cake that in some cases, at least the first batch contained cannabis.. 25 x 36 cm plastic bags complete with contents. Number one is still unopened (!) in the original worn stamped brown paper envelope. Number two, 3 and 4 in the original bags. The cover of the plastic bag for number one has an original beautiful silkscreen print in red by Per Kirkeby. Extremely rare set
