This early work is an ex­er­cise with an old-fash­ioned let­ter-press ma­chine, still used by a printer in a small Mex­i­can town to pro­duce fly­ers and in­vi­ta­tions. Printed in an edi­tion of 100, the sheets and en­ve­lope bear the clear marks of the heavy mech­a­nism that pro­duced them, but the con­tent of the piece is a se­ries of ideas for works or ex­hi­bi­tions that may never be phys­i­cally man­i­fest. This work is from a se­ries that re­visit, and per­haps reen­act some of strate­gies of early con­cep­tu­al­ism.
