Vaduz: Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, 2009
21 x 10cm, 6pp. Announcement leaflet for the major retrospective with 3 works reproduced in colour.
A personal note - this exhibition took place at the same time as Falkirk Football Club played its only competitive European football match against Vaduz FC. Paul Robertson a life long supporter of Falkirk arrived at the match only to find the exhibition open opposite the bar in which he was having lunch. There were over a thousand football supporters in the town before the game - but when he visited the exhibition the woman on the desk told him he was the ONLY visitor to the exhibition that day. She also turned out to be the girlfriend of the Vadus striker who scored two goals and knocked Falkirk out of the competition later that day. One the positive side she gave Robertson all of the various publicity materials for the show for free including come large posters. VG+.

Bologna: Museo per la Memoria di Ustica, 2007 21 x 10cm, 8pp (single folded sheet). The exhibition guide for Boltanski's emotive memorial for the 81 victims of the 1980 air crash of an Air Itavia flight. The installation is poignant - the reconstructed airplane is surrounded by 81 large light bulbs hanging from the ceiling - the lights glow and then dim in turn. The items and clothing found at the site are also situated in the installation but hidden from view in black boxes. Around the outside of the walk there are black mirrors from behind which are whispered voices - the recordings use men, women and children to have phrases such as "Mother will you hold my hand?" which are disturbing. This is more than art - it is raw, visceral and terrifying while solemn and respectful. The pamphlet displays three colour images of the installation and a text in Italian. VG+. ...
