London, Artists Meeting Place (AMP), 1974. Announcement card for an exhibition at AMP, from 21 to 28 July 1974. Mimeo printed b/w on thick white stock, 12.5 x 16 cm. The exhibition formed the closure of a project Vicuna started in June 1973 as a protest to the military dictatorship in Chile. She decided to make one object every day in support of the Chilean revolutionary process. Four hundred objects, constructed from debris collected in the streets of London, were exhibited at AMP. The invitation card is extremely rare, no records found, but it is detected as part of the AMP installation, mounted on the wall. (See p.189 of the Witte de With publication on Cecilia Vicuna, the image is 5 mm but recognizable).
