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.
