This image shows a piece of paper filled with handwritten text, various symbols, and some scribbled lines. On the left side, we can see a larger transparent sheet overlaid on a part that appears to contain symbols such as musical notes and plus signs randomly dispersed. A red paperclip is attached to the bottom left corner of the transparent sheet.

The text on the right side is in English and talks about some form of instructions. It mentions a non-transparent square, choices and assignments being free, improvisation, readings, and suggests that a program of any length can be provided. There's also a mention of the piece being performable with "Paper Piece - 1960." The handwriting at the bottom right corner seems to be a signature followed by the date April 1, 1961.

Below the English text, there's a section marked with a circular bullet point that discusses a decollaging action as "removing a portion of a collage" and indicates that the technique for this is free, listing actions like tearing, cutting, sawing, sanding, chiseling, and even eating.

On the left side beneath the transparent sheet, there is a German text "Eine Décollage...", which translates to "A decollage...", followed by a list of actions in German that are similar to the ones listed in English, like sanding with sandpaper and burning.

The piece looks like a blend of visual art and performance instruction, and it could be related to the avant-garde or experimental music/art scene, particularly from the mid-20th century, given the date of 1960 mentioned and the style of the text and instructions.

On the right side of the image, there is handwritten text, which includes instructions and notes for a performance or piece of music. The text reads:

"Within the given area of the non-transparent square. Choice and assignment are free. Improvise where necessary. As many readings as necessary are made to provide a program of any length. May be performed with ‘Paper Piece’ - 1960.

Benjamin Patterson

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents an artwork, likely a conceptual piece. It appears to be a combination of text and a diagram or sketch.

Layout and Components:

  • Diagram/Sketch: The central element is a hand-drawn diagram on a piece of aged paper. It features a complex, curving line with various small symbols (f, p, d, and combinations thereof) scattered around it. The line forms an irregular, possibly abstract shape.
  • Text: The image is accompanied by handwritten text in ink. There are two primary blocks of text:
    • Main Text Block (right side): This text describes the nature of the artwork, mentioning terms like "non-transparent square," "choice and assignment are free," and "Paper Piece - 1960." It likely serves as instructions or a conceptual framework for the piece.
    • Annotation (bottom right): A note below the main text defines "décollaging action" and lists various techniques (tearing, cutting, sewing, grinding, etc.) associated with this art form.
  • Paper and Assembly: The diagram and text are arranged on what looks like a slightly off-white or yellowed piece of paper. This is then attached to a larger, light-green piece of paper, presumably to act as a backing. An orange paperclip holds the small piece of paper to the light-green paper at the left bottom corner.
  • Additional Note (bottom left): A typed or printed line of text is visible, written in German that translates to: "A decollage-action in each case a piece of the collage. The method is tearing..."

Overall Impression:

The artwork seems to be a conceptual piece, possibly part of a series or a set of instructions. The combination of the diagram, handwritten text, and collage techniques suggest that it's related to decollage or similar artistic processes. The style is reminiscent of experimental art from the 1960s or 70s. The handwriting and the diagram's style add to the piece's sense of spontaneity and intellectual exploration. The dated signature confirms that this piece was created in 1961.

The image is a collage of papers with notes and instructions, possibly related to an art piece or performance.

The leftmost element appears to be a faded blue-green paper attached by a red paperclip. This paper has a diagram of a curving line on it, with the letters "f," "p," and combinations of these letters (such as "ff," "ppp," etc.) scattered around.

To the right of this paper is a beige or cream-colored sheet with text in English. The text describes a process within a "non-transparent square," where choice and assignment are free, and improvisation is encouraged. It mentions readings and providing a program of any length, possibly in relation to a performance piece called "Paper Piece - 1960." The text is signed "Benjamin Patterson" and includes the location and date, "Köln, April, 1961."

Below this, there is a paragraph defining a "décollaging action" as the removal of a portion of a collage. It notes that the technique is free, listing methods such as tearing, cutting, sawing, grinding, sanding, chiseling, scraping, burning, and even eating.

At the bottom left, a small strip of paper has German text on it. The text describes a "Decollage-Aktion," which includes methods such as tearing, cutting, sanding, chiseling, scratching, burning, and "Essen usw." ("eating etc.").
