A very rare catalogue published by the pARTner group to recapitulate their activities in 1984 and ‘85, some of which involved correspondence art; according to WorldCat, no copies outside of Poland. The collective included Jacek Bukowski, Janusz Byszewski, Blanka Gul-Olszewska, Eugeniusz Józefowski, and Wieslaw Karolak. Many of the projects presented here touched upon art education of children; for example, one entailed the establishment of a reading room.
From the introduction: “‘pARTner’ program clearly determines the need of creativity in human life, it shows possibilities of conveying sublime contents of education for creativity into the language of artistic and paraartistic practice.” Most of the texts are in parallel Polish and English.
Near fine; a little wear, probably from mailing. With the original mailing envelope neatly folded and laid-in.
