COMPLETE WITH INSERT. The very rare original 1. printing. Important AARHUSRAPPORT - rare documentations from the fluxus art scene in Denmark, documenting a number of happenings, exhibitions and concerts taking place in and around Aarhus during the years 1961-1969: "In June 1969, Danish composer and Fluxus artist Eric Andersen presented an interactive artwork called By som værk (City as work) that connected different places in Aarhus in a complex composition through posters mounted on billboard triangles on the city’s squares and in bus stops, communication over walkie talkies and analogue cameras to document which places had been visited. The posters on billboard triangles simultaneously gave the audience instructions for their tour through the city and served as a log of which instructions had been carried out. This conceptual framework for a mapping of Aarhus resulted in an on-going and choreographed, but not planned or scheduled, performance as well as a series of photographs and inscriptions on the posters made by people following the instructions of the work as it guided them through the city. The composition was a way to connect people in different places, sharing information over the walkie-talkie with others on the same channel, but also a way to connect places with places, transferring a mark from one location to another. Eric Andersen writes about the piece, ‘A city is an instrument that doesn’t always have to play the same phrases. City as Work involved the entire city as an interactive artwork, through which visitors and local population could enjoy quite different urban routes and activities than the common and worn out ones. Printed on the inside covers of the original Århus Rapport are a number of photographs from Andersen’s project, contrasted by a black/white topographic map of the city of Aarhus on its outside. In other words, the map and images of specific sites of Aarhus are what holds together the different artistic practices documented inside the Rapport. It is an example of the avantgarde ‘politics of the ultra-local,’" (Lars Bang Larsen).

Abb., Chronologie, Leinen - Text in dt. & dän. Sprache. "Ursula Reuter versteht das eigene Leben als Material für ihr künstlerisches Schaffen. In diesem Sinne arbeitet sie expressiv mit sich selbst. In Texten und Bildern beschreibt sie, wie sich persönliche Geschichte und die Ikonen, mit denen sie sich auseinandergesetzt hat, zu großen, universalen Erzählungen über Leidenschaft, Betrug, Begehren, Liebe und Widerstand verschmelzen. Der Bericht über ihre 50jährige künstlerische Arbeit nimmt seinen spannenden Ausgangspunkt in den frühen Jahren in Deutschland nach dem 2. Weltkrieg, zutiefst fasziniert von Mythen, Märchen und Sagen der Romantik. Die Studienjahre i den 60 er Jahren bei Joseph Beuys und das Motto der Zeit "Leben ist Kunst und Kunst ist Leben" war von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Künstlerin. Es folgt die Reise gen Norden und ihre Ehe mit dem dänischen Komponisten und Fluxuskünstler Henning Christiansen. Die Werke, die ab den 70er Jahren im Umfeld des ländlichen und familiären Lebens auf der Insel Moen entstanden sind, erzählen von den Frauen- und Arbeiterkämpfen jener Jahre, von Augenblicken existentieller Erfahrungen mit Ehe, Karriere, Depression, Trotz und Einsamkeit - alles beherrscht von der Besessenheit als kreativer Mensch zu leben."
