Incidents No.3 is Karasik’s third collection of stories

by Daniil Kharms if the first five books (published

together in 1991) is counted as a single collection. The

artist printed the lithographs for this book during his

stay in Hustopeče u Brna in the Czech Republic. He

published the book back in St. Petersburg in a 21 copy

edition. The lithographs are mounted on eight triangular

cardboard pieces. Linen joins these pieces together to

form an eight-part fan. One side of the fan is printed

in white on black paper, the reverse is printed in three

colours on cream paper. Folded together the eight

parts fit into a triangular slipcase. This is covered by a

lithograph in white on black paper.
