Catalogue One: small and full of things.

This catalogue was made for the Hayvend vending machine project, for which artist's submitted multiples of a size small enough to be contained in a vending machine (installed in art-friendly bars and other venues around London).   The purchaser inserted £1, and got someone's art object. I need to check the exact dates but it was sometime around 1996-1998.  

Page by page, I present The Mail-Order Catalogue of Mr Joel Creme:
