Jan Dibbets (1941) - Postcard

POSTCARD Jan Dibbets. Untitled. Amsterdam and New York: Seth Siegelaub, 1969. Offset-printed, 157 x 102 mm, 2 b&w ill. Print run: 1,200 ex.

Siegelaub published this postcard in advance of a performance by the Dutch artist Jan Dibbets, and mailed it from New York to the people on his mailinglist, which was international in scope; for that reason, the text on the card appears in four languages. The images of Dibbets and of the balcony of his apartment on Hasebroekstraat 20 in Amsterdam anticipate his planned action, which, as stated on the postcard, would consist of making the same gesture on three different days.
