NOW was first published as part of my exhibition at the PWSSP (today the Władysław Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts and Design) in Łódż, Poland, from 6 – 22 June 1986. The book was printed by silkscreen at the school’s print department, as access to offset was not possible at the time. The school censor allowed us to print 49 copies “for in-school use” with the obligatory inclusion of the colophon on page 3:
