Back in the days, the Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine (what a great name for an institution!) was located in this villa in Geneva. It was romantic, strange, and run by curator Véronique Bacchetta who organized many great shows. She also published memorable editions by artists such as Trisha Donnelly, Heimo Zobernig, Monica Bonvincini, Mai-Thu Perret, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, John Armleder… The Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine is now called Centre d’édition contemporaine and moved into a more anonymous space in the city of Geneva. The program is still great.
This card announce a show by Swiss artist Oliver Mosset, here you can see his edition produced by the Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine. A picture of the show.

Manfred Pernice: Costa Classica
Galerie Lydia Megert, Bern
In the early 1980s the Bern based Galerie Lydia Megert produced multifunctional invitation cards on folded A3 paper. Besides the basic information on when and where the exhibitions would take place, the leaflets also contained pictures of the artists and their artworks as well as biographical overviews and short texts.
The little circles suggest that all the sheets could be punched and collected in a folder (maybe similar to Harald Szeemanns catalogs When Attitudes Become Form, 1969, and documenta 5, 1972). This way, the invitation cards could function as single pages of a potential publication documenting the history of Galerie Lydia Megert.
