In 1990 the London artists Stewart Home and Mark Pawson proposed that all artists cease to “make, exhibit, distribute, sell, or discuss their work" for three ...

Curtis Hasselbring: Number Stations
by Bruce Lindsay
Number stations are, apparently, shortwave radio stations that intermittently broadcast random series of numbers: a Cold War communication system that still lingers.
