A very early Temporary Services rarity. Our friend, mentor, and past collaborator A. Laurie Palmer gifted us some copies of this booklet from one of our early projects that we published with her. This call for proposals later gave way to a larger book of the same title published by WhiteWalls (also long out of print).

Note that all of these copies have some storage/handling wear but are otherwise intact and solid.

Here's what we wrote for our earlier listing of the book:

Artist and educator Laurie Palmer, a member of the late collaborative group Haha, initiated this compelling project that had an early incarnation at Temporary Services' old office space on 202 S. State Street. This book followed a greatly expanded exhibition at the defunct not for profit space Gallery 312. 

"In 1988, the city of Chicago declared three acres of public land along Lake Michigan the future home of DuSable Park - a green refuge dedicated to Chicago's first settler, Jean Baptiste Point DuSable. The park has yet to emerge, however, and it is possible that these three lakefront acres could be sold to developers. In 2001, Chicago artist Laurie Palmer sent out an open request for proposals, and the resulting artwork became an innovative exhibit."
