WHY IN 1987 IS DOCUMENTA 95% WHITE AND 83% MALE?
Documenta, a presitgious international exhibition, is held every five years in Kassel, Germany. We passed out this calling card here.

WHAT'S FASHIONABLE, PRESTIGIOUS AND TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
A lot of corporations try to enhance their image by sponsoring museum exhibits. Many of these naughty boys make products marketed to women and people of color while funding shows that exclude them. Bad, bad boys. Note that federal, state and local arts councils haven't done much better.

WE SELL WHITE BREAD
Art galleries are stores, and in New York, all they sell is white bread. Hundreds of these peel-off stickers got slapped on gallery windows and doors.

THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
This is one of our all-time favorites, which we did to encourage female artists to look on the sunny side. Women all over the world, not just artists, identify with it. One sent us $1,000 to run it as an ad in Artforum, a top U.S. art magazine.

AT LAST! MUSEUMS WILL NO LONGER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN AND MINORITY ARTISTS
Here we're simply trying to enforce the law.
