Exhibition card: het projekt ‘steps’ gerealiseerd van stanley brouwn (18 March-18 April 1971)
Printed on both sides. Card. Amsterdam: Stedelijk Museum, 1971.
Invitation card for Brouwn’s first solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Ruhé writes: “From March 18 to April 18, Brouwn keeps a daily tally of his total number of footsteps using a hand-held counter. During the exhibition Brouwn visits a number of countries where he has never been before. The steps he takes there therefore are his first in those countries…On a daily basis Brouwn relays the number of steps he has taken by telephone, after which they are recorded on maps in the exhibition.” The route of Brouwn’s journey was subsequently published in steps, an artist’s book/exhibition catalogue published the same year.
In fine condition.
