"Received is the result of an interplay between ourselves as designers, borne of a desire to examine the process of message production and translation under the conditions, some would say, of a contest The rules, if you could deem them as such, were that objects or artworks must be exchanged and that responses could only be made on receipt of a piece from the other person. Once the first had been received (the instigator being the first to break the initial silence) each subsequent piece had to respond to the last in terms of a theoretical or ideological 'meaning' ... There were no limitiations placed on format or size ... Equally, there were no restrictions on time ... Each piece was accompanied by a polaroid of the work and its date acknowledged with a stamp"--Page 3 of preliminaries.
