Executed on standard grid paper, the piece functions as a preparatory record or manifesto for a four-hour stroll through a European capital. The composition combines a photographic collage element, showing a group of figures obscured by a dark, text-heavy banner, with hand-drawn graphite annotations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Tijen outlines the technical requirements for the event, listing ten ear telephones, three microphones, ten drinking tubes, and ten smoke tubes. A schematic drawing of a human profile wearing a headset provides a visual anchor for the proposed communication apparatus. The text, written in English, describes the event as a stroll featuring unusual activities. The inclusion of the phrase 'op de 10 mensen roken' (on the 10 people smoking) suggests a specific, perhaps provocative, social element to the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a practitioner of conceptual art, van Tijen often used documentation as a primary medium. This sketch captures the intersection of performance art, social experiment, and technical planning common in the late twentieth-century avant-garde. The grid paper background reinforces the clinical, almost bureaucratic nature of the planning process, contrasting with the spontaneous and participatory nature of the proposed walk. The work provides insight into the artist's process of translating abstract social concepts into actionable, physical instructions. It remains a record of an ephemeral event, preserving the intent and logistical framework of a project that sought to engage with the urban environment through collective sensory experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/object-willem-westbroek\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eObject - Willem Westbroek — Willem Westbroek\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/squiggly-brushstrokes-olive-sol-lewitt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSquiggly Brushstrokes (Olive) - Sol LeWitt — Sol LeWitt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tjebbe van Tijen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58743210443087,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58743220306255,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58743220339023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58743220371791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58743220404559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58743220437327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58743220470095,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58743220502863,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58743220535631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58743220568399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58743220601167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58743220633935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Walkie-Talkie-Conceptual-Sketch-with-Collage-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789084594761.jpg?v=1789085877","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/walkie-talkie-conceptual-sketch-with-collage-tjebbe-van-tijen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
