The works described include Rushton's 'Event', Milson and Pilkingston's 'Notion of a thing persisting...' Pilkington and Lole's 'Is the statement that 'Noland is thirty feet by six feet' an statement about an art object?', Willsmore's 'Identity Mistakes' and Susan Beeby's 'Can I reproduce my feelings in respect of Jim DInes (sic) toaster in John Michell' and finally Dave Rushton's 'Exhibited Painting'.

The works include two since lost or destroyed works - Noisy Channel Chair 1 (1969) where a found chair was photographed and then coated in photographic emulsion and the original photograph projected back onto the chair and developed - thus creating a merger of signifier and signified - and Noisy Channel Canvasses (also now destroyed) where a similar process was undertaken using unpainted canvasses. There are 8 b/w images of these works. Only 'a couple of hundred' of these books were printed, very few were sold and they are quite rare. This copy is in VG condition.
