User Beitrag: “Jedes Mal, wenn ich der Künstlerin Abramovic begegne, bin ich fasziniert. Ich verfolge sie siet ihren Anfängen. Ich finde sie sehr mutig und sie ist wichtig für die Kunst. Ich sage bewusst nicht (Frauen)-Kunst.” Beatrice Haupt
The show took place in 2000 at Contemporary Fine Arts in Berlin. From what I understand, this was the last invitation card using handwritten text. See all cards here.
The galeries KARMA INTERNATIONAL and ZERO both created invitation cards / posters which also function as their own envelope.

Invitation card for an exhibition by Mary Redmond at the Modern Institute in Glasgow. Somebody said that it reminded her or him of John Travolta.
User comment: “I have chosen an invitation for the exhibition of Koo-Jeong-A (2009)’s work. I found the format and the colours and the blurred shapes intriguing. I had to unfold the document and the surprise and the curiosity remained high (what’s this?). I immediately thought about FRAMING it. I did not know the artist nor the gallery. I find sometimes the invitation for famous artists (eg. Charles Ray, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Isa Genzken, Wolfgang Tillmans etc.) whom I also adore eye-catching, but rather because they produce a feeling of familiarity, like a recognisable friend on meets in the street. But there is less surprise, rather a soft happiness/joy?” Carole Ratsimandresy
