hi michael
the conference sounds interesting and I'd love to know more about it... but Julian is not the first to note this, and in fact it is often discussed as part of the history of the show. Bruce Altschuler in his book 'The Avant-Garde in Exhibition' devotes pages to When Attitudes Become Form, and notes very clearly about the sponsorship, that "packs of cigarettes were given away at the opening" (page 254) backed up by a footnote citing 1992 interviews with Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner.
yours,
sarah

p.s Armin, was it not also that case that Tanja's key goal was for Szeeman to see her pubic hair, groomed to be a Malevich-inspired black square on white? Once he relented and did so her art project of following him around ended?
