This is a performance art booklet titled "Hanging" by artist Robert Delford Brown (American, 1930-2009). Published by the "church" the artist founded, the booklet is inscribed and signed by the artist: "Here's Hoping the rope breaks? 1967".

In A Statement About The First National Church Of The Exquisite Panic, Inc. Brown said "When I decided to found The First National Church of the Exquisite Panic, Inc. in 1964 it had been incubating for over half my life. I had hoped that its rituals and ikons would serve as an endless source of subject matter for my work as a painter and sculptor, and it would also help me to explain to myself a world that was totally overwhelming in its complexity and completely different from the world's that had given birth the established religions."

Brown called the First National Church of the Exquisite Panic, Inc. (FUNKUP for short) an Orthodox Pagan belief. Its chief deity is named WHO?- as in, "We don't know where we're going, but WHO? knows!" The church's main commandment is to live and the main prohibition is, "Do Not Eat Cars," a nonsensical rule stemming from Brown's theory that a major problem with modern organized religion is its lack of humor.

The booklet is accompanied by a glossy portrait photograph of the artist and a performance art headshot poster: "Robert Louis Seltman: Narcissistic Prima Donna".
The booklet is 10 3/4 x 8 1/2". The poster is 17 x 10 7/8".

The booklet exhibits some scattered dings. The poster exhibits toning, stains, creases, dings, and some tape along the edges.
