“In The Location of Eight Points (1974), the progressive complexity of the idea can be seen at a glance in the twenty-page booklet. The instructions are hand-printed on the left-hand pages, and the drawings are on the right. As one proceeds, the captions become longer, and the drawings more complex, progressing from ‘the first point is located at the center of the page,’ facing a simple cross, to a full page and a half of description sandwiching an image of the eighth point and its ten-line, eight-point”
