London, Control Magazine, 1982. Softcover, 31 x 22.5 cm, 32 pp. This issue of Stephen Willats' seminal periodical features an assembling of artists' contributions, including an original work by Anish Kapoor on the last page. It consists of a mounted plastic beetle (3 x 1 cm), scattered with bright blue dye. Below the beetle is a short text by Kapoor stating 'I once saw an insect in a pile of colour, it seemed to me that this was almost a work'.
