• Notes:
  COLLECTIONS: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Purchased 1974; Philippe Méaille Collection, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Barcelona 'The Six Negatives book was in two parts, one part by Ian and another by myself. This was normal. When we worked on essays, we would hand them around for comments. It therefore seemed appropriate to have multiple authorsÉ The fact that you were left with only the negative words of Roget was part of the scheme working with or connecting to the fact that the work was made into a negative Photostat which in those days you had to have made first in order to have a positive Photostat. Read Red Premiss.' Mel Ramsden, 'Some More Questions: Interview with Mel Ramsden', in Ann Stephen, 1969: The Black Box of Conceptual Art, University Art Gallery, The University of Sydney, 2013, p.88, p.86.
