This letter comments on George Maciunas’s proposal for the object edition documenting Spatial Poem No. 2 (Direction Event) (1965), which eventually took the form of a large map. Mieko Shiomi implies that her manner of transmitting participants’ reports to Maciunas was to retype their texts into an edited compilation, indicating that she favored concise textual descriptions of individual performances and did not always reproduce word for word the reports she received.
