No News: The Game. No.37 / Norbert Klassen., 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-28292-29469
Scope and Contents

Although No.35 was supposed to be the final issue of this periodical, Olbrich has continued to publish it. This issue has objects connected directly or tenuously to a game, e.g., game board, play money, cards, toys, tickets, credit card, lists, etc. The box that holds the latter has been "compartmentalized" by affixing match boxes to its bottom to keep these objects in place. In addition, there are several drawings that appear to be plans for a stage. The largest drawing has been folded such that it is a folder for the smaller ones. All of the material is found and none has been created by the artist. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
