Marinus Boezem
Paper Events
Belgium: Multi-Art Press, 1970
[16] pp., 29.8 x 21.5 cm., softcover in plastic pouch
Edition of 250 signed and numbered copies
If I had a Christmas list for thousand dollar books, this 1970 title by Dutch artist Marinus Boezem would be near the top.
Part-Artist Book, part-Multiple, part-Instructional Score, the entirely blank book comes in a printed plastic pouch which may also later house the remnants that remain. The instructions on the pouch
propose that the readers cut page three with a pair of scissors; wrinkle and throw away page five; cut page seven; tear page nine; soak page eleven in water, hang page thirteen in an open window; and finally to burn the rest of the book.
The title bears an uncanny resemblance to George Maciunas' Flux Paper Events, which would be released several years later. The 1970 reissue of Yoko Ono's 1964 book Grapefruit asked readers to burn the book once they had finished reading it.
Paper Events is available from The Archive Is Limited, for € 940, here.
Good day, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily nine to five jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about DR REETHESH spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take two days for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $372 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I'm here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to DR REETHESH.
