"Shortly after its opening, the Museum of Contemporary Art
planned an exhibition to record the trend, incipient then and pervasive
today, toward conceptualization of art. This exhibition, scheduled
for the spring of 1968 and abandoned because of technical difficulties,
consisted of works in different media, conceived by artists in this
country and Europe and executed in Chicago on their behalf. The
telephone was designated the most fitting means of communication
in relaying instructions to those entrusted with fabrication of
the artists' projects or enactment of their ideas. To heighten the
challenge of a wholly verbal exchange, drawings, blueprints or written
descriptions were avoided" (Jan van der Marck, Kurator, zit.
