About this work

This is a simple black-and-white sheet of paper. On the left side, there’s just a blank white space. On the right, there’s text: a title ("bulletin 69"), an address in Amsterdam, a date range (4.9–26.9.1973), and a name ("stanley brouwn"). The text looks like a fake newspaper or announcement. It’s printed in a clean, no-frills style, almost like a joke—empty words on a page that doesn’t say much. Look up Allen Ruppersberg to see how artists play with everyday objects like this.
