The artist presented works documenting the number of steps he had taken while wearing a pedometer on his walks through several neighborhoods of Düsseldorf prior to the exhibition. The aspect of movement and the site-specific reference, which were key features in the exhibitions at Konrad Fischer’s gallery at the time, were also central here.”–Cloud & Crystal: The Dorothee and Konrad Fischer Collection (2016 exhib. booklet)...

[40] pp. & colophon. Square 4to (155 x 156 mm.), printed softcover. Geneva: Ecole supérieure d’art visuel, 1994.
A very rare Stanley Brouwn (1935-2017) artist’s book; WorldCat shows no example outside of Switzerland and France. Brouwn was a visiting professor at the institution in 1994, and had an exhibition there of aluminum pieces 9-30 March. The printed calculations within are a mix of meters, steps, ells, feet and their equivalent in centimeters, decreasing from 400 to 178 cm. Much like the ostensibly incorrect computation on the title and first page, the rest throughout the book do not seem accurate.
