The cover reproduces \u003cem\u003eSituation idéale : Terre–Artiste–Ciel\u003c\/em\u003e (1969), a colour photograph in which Pane stands as a small vertical figure on the horizon line between cultivated ground and open sky. Inside, the exhibition information — set in pale grey cursive — occupies only one quarter of the unfolded sheet; the remaining surface is almost entirely unmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exhibition appeared at a point of transition. Pane’s ritualised actions, performed between 1971 and 1979, had established the body as both material and a means of political and social communication. From 1980, she began developing the sculptural works she called \u003cem\u003ePartitions\u003c\/em\u003e. This invitation returns to an early landscape action while announcing the action work at the moment it was passing from event into photograph, object and historical record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe action has already become an image, then an announcement. What circulated temporarily as exhibition information now retains the transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecurely packed; tracked UK and international shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54077020078418,"sku":"PANE-BRACHOT-INV-1980","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Pane_Gina._Show_invite._1980.jpg?v=1784821228","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/gina-pane-travail-daction-exhibition-invitation-1980","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
