Constellation sequence concrete pœm (a la Brazilian "Noigandres" group, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Lawrence Weiner etc) originally planned then realised as a maquette in the early 1990's (but as with much visual art work made then and later, unexposed at time or since). 

Reused (identical words typographic font, arrangement, colour-scheme etc) for Nico Dockx's 'The Badge Project' (portfolio or ALPHABET of "tender buttons", from 26 invitees), as part of 'We Did Everything Wrong', curated byCarl Michael von Hausswolff and Jan Aman, Teleport Färgfabriken, Ostersund, 2008
