The book focuses on Swiss artist John Armleder's early Fluxus-related
works with Ecart, a group Armleder founded with Patrick Lucchini and
Claude Rychner in Geneva in the late 1960s. The Ecart Group published
artists' books, presented exhibitions and performances, and opened a
bookstore/gallery that is considered to be 'one of the most important
alternative spaces in Europe in the 1970s' (Ken Friedman). Ecart worked
with many artists including Dick Higgins, Lawrence Weiner, Annette
Messager, Daniel Spoerri, Giuseppe Chiari, Maurizio Nannucci, and Ben.
