In 1989, conceptual artist Michael Asher used Simiolus as the site for his contribution to Conceptual Art: A Perspective at Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Invited by the museum to contribute a piece to the exhibit, Asher instead opted to place unauthored advertisments for the museum show in Simiolus, along with several other European art-historical journals, commenting on the way that art history is produced.[1][2][3]
