You Can Have Your Fucking City Bak, 1967
Zapp: Censored, 2011
The smaller box contains postcards that Sloy and Nic mailed to the Sackners after the box was sent. The book is an exhibition catalogue from the Oregon Artists Series in which both artists were included. It is slipped into the larger box. All the cards deal with censorship. The box came from tony colomona who was the drummer for the band, "plug," that sloy managed in the 1990s. The box was from deen castronovo's Zappo's shoe box, with his name on the inside of the censored box. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
