London.: ICA. (The Institute of Contemporary Arts)., 1957. Large sheet screenprinted in red and black on translucent paper.. Sheet size (75.5 x 50.5 cm).. Hamilton and the Independent Group again pushed back the boundaries with an Exhibit in August 1957 - an exhibition at the ICA of not just abstract art, but arguably, no art at all. According to Hamilton, the idea for the show came from the Independent Group's earlier landmark exhibition Man, Machine and Motion. “Victor Pasmore came up to Newcastle, he proposed that we might make an exhibition together because he was quite interested in the Man, Machine and Motion exhibition but said he thought it was very beautiful, the only trouble was it had photographs on all the panels. He liked the system but not the photographs ...

Zürich.: Kunsthaus Zürich., 1977. Original printed glossy card wrappers, plastic spiral binding.. (29.5 x 21 cm).. pp. (18). Black-and-white xeroxed photographs. Manon is considered one of the first performance artists in Switzerland. She made her first appearance on the Zürich art scene in 1974 with the performance ""The Salmon-coloured Boudoir"". In all her performances she presented herself as an art product. This booklet documents the creative process for one of Manon’s early performance works, ‘Walk on the Wild Side’, a so-called “Live-show” which took place at the Kunsthaus Zürich on the 23rd November 1977. The works consisted of the construction of a 2-meter wide and 20-meter long dark tunnel with multiple bends, through which the individual must pass, experiencing strong winds, smells and the rather offputting presence of 60 seated people, 30 men and 30 women.
