For this new edition of IFPDA Fine Art Print Fair, mfc-michèle didier would like to propose a special selection of our works, shown as a cabinet of curiosities. 

Deux mille millimètres d'infinis possibles of Saâdane Afif is in the form of a classic wooden folding ruler, not graduated, thus offering two thousand millimetres of infinite possibilities to measure the imagination. 

On Kawara?s One Million Years transcribed here for this edition on 2000 pages, has two volumes. The first volume, Past ? For all those who have lived and died, starts in 998031 BC and ends in 1969 AD, namely One Million Years later. The second volume, Future ? For the last one, starts in 1993 AD and ends One Million Years later, in 1001992. 

What would be a cabinet of curiosities without singular poems? We will present Carl Andre?s exceptional work Seven Books of Poetry, made of the seven great poems by the artist: "Passport" (1960), "Shape and Structure" (1960-1965), "A Theory of Poetry" (1960-1965), "One Hundred Sonnets" (1963), "America Drill" (1963), "Three Operas" (1964), "Lyrics and Odes" (1969). We will also present the facsmile that we published of one of the poems: America Drill. This poem is based on three interwoven texts, respectively titled Red Cut, White Cut and Blue Cut, and consisting of excerpts of fundamental texts of American History. 

Robert Barry?s unique and poetic use of langage will also be presented with the three works Somethings that?, Something in a Box and Art Lovers.

What would be a cabinet of curiosities without erotic drawings? Our cabinet of curiosities will be completed with Annette Messager?s Mes dessins secrets, consisting of 76 erotic drawings facsimile, drawn freehand by the artist on various papers from notebooks and booklets.

We also present two silkscreens by Carolee Schneemann, Forbidden Actions - Museum Window and The Men Cooperate. Here, the curiosity does not lie in a book but in the action represented in these two works. Forbidden Actions - Museum Window is a capture of a performance by the artist at the Kröller-Muller Museum in 1979. The Men Cooperate documents one of the episodes of Carolee Schneemann's major work: ABC ? We Print Anything ? In the Cards.
