Am 16.Mai 1972 wird in der Düsseldorfer Kunsthalle eine experimentelle Ausstellung zum Thema 'Adler' eröffnet. Die Idee stammt von dem belgischen Künstler Marcel Broodthaers, der 1968 in Brüssel ein fiktives Museum für Moderne Kunst, Abteilung Adler, gegründet hat.

"10,000 Francs Reward" is the title of a 1974 interview given to Irmeline Lebeer by Marcel Broodthaers in which the Belgian artist criticised the fact that art was imprisoned by its own ghosts, used to embellish spaces of institutions as a sign of power, and wandered like a shadow through the layers of history.

The catalogue accompanying the international group exhibition is dedicated to the mutually permeating relationship of the written word with art and film.
