The work produced as part of a programme involving twelve evenings with exponents of the artistic and cultural world organized by the Incontri Internazionali d’Arte in Rome during the month of June 1977 includes twelve sheets of drawing paper arranged close together on a table, reiterating the twelve events. At the bottom of each one is the date and the name of the artist invited for that specific evening. Each element also contains the pattern of the twelve sheets themselves in the form of rectangles marked with their respective dates: missing each time is the square that corresponds to the event represented by the date and the signature written at the bottom of the sheet.
The same theme and the same title can be found in four other variants, three of which were made in the same year (GPO-0353, GPO-0368, GPO-0369) while one was made in 1979 (GPO-0405).
