21 x 15cm, 1pp. Announcement leaflet/small poster for an all-encompassing La Monte Young sound and vision installation ("with singing from time to time").

Also announced are a joint show between Fluxus artists Addi Koepcke and Tomas Schmit, as well as other exhibitions by Robin Page, Ben Vautier and also information about the forthcoming Lidlweek - an important series of faux sporting events as organised by a group of artists around Immendorf which included a football match, a balloon trip and cycling training. The latter was a very important happening where the participants (who included Filliou, Schmit, Ben and Koepke) cycled from the gallery (run by Izi Fishman and Kasper Konig) to Broodthaers' Musee d'Art Moderne - Department d'Aigles in Bruxelles. Fine. Rare.
