My briefing

 

Prontuário Geral Unificado 666 (General Record Unified 666). As it is  known, 666 is the number of the beast.

This edition of PGU 666, printed by the Cooperativa de Artistas Plásticos de São Paulo, (Cooperative of Visual Artists of São Paulo) under the title Artista Profissional (Professional Artist) was launched in 1980 at its headquarters. The release, in performance format, consisted of a parody of book launching by bookstores or publishers.
In this offset edition I included a card that, once completed and signed, certified that the owner was an artist.
This, in fact, has to do with art circuit criticism; criticism of the bureaucracy and the idea that anyone can become an artist as long as he satisfies certain conditions dictated by himself.
The book, the same book, was named under three status and sold with different prices:
SL (Sem luxo = no luxury)
SL Semi Luxory)

SL (Super Luxory)
