""The show explored the ways in which the practice of art had occasionally run afoul of the law, from Charlotte Moorman playing cello in the nude to Chris Burden ordering his assistant to shoot him in his arm. The catalogue consisted of a series of artists’ statements housed in a box, which was sealed shut. In order to open it, you had to tear through a dollar bill glued across the flaps—an illegal act, albeit of the mildest kind."" (Hua Hsu, ""Exit Art 1982-2012"", in The Paris Review, April 12, 2012). From the library of Anders Tornberg Gallery in Lund, Sweden, and with a stamp confirming this on inside of the box.
