Reunion

Reunion is an artist's book by Shigeko Kubota, published by Takeyoshi Miyazawa in 1970. Documenting the March 1968 performance *Reunion* in Toronto, the book pairs Kubota's black-and-white photographs of Marcel Duchamp and John Cage playing chess on an electronic chessboard with Cage's text *36 Acrostics re and not re Duchamp* and a blue flexi-disc recording of the event.
