Original announcement card issued by Postmasters Gallery for David Diao’s 2000 exhibition, 14 October – 11 November. The verso identifies the reproduced painting as Lying 2, 2000, acrylic on canvas, 79 × 115 inches.

A small Postmasters object from Diao’s early-2000s circulation. The painting appears as reproduction, framed by a teal field and converted into gallery notice. On the reverse, image gives way to schedule, address, phone number, web address, and email. The exhibition is reduced to a card-sized administrative surface.

A secondary line at the bottom records Jennifer and Kevin McCoy’s Pink Light in the “hole in the floor” project space, placing the object inside the wider Postmasters programme.

Painting as notice. Gallery as layout. Exhibition as mailed support.
