Flyer advertises for a Pomarańczowa Alternatywa (Orange Alternative) happening in Warsaw on February 24th, 1989 titled, "Pollock Potrafi" (Pollock knows how). Along the right edge, a man wearing a trenchcoat and with a black bar over his eyes holds a paint can in one hand an a paint brush in the other. The paint on both the brush and the paint can is represented with metallic silver paint. To the left of the figure, a sign is "painted" with the name of the happening. The second 'o' in "Pollock" is represented with a sun. "Pollock Potrafi!" is also added to the poster with metallic silver paint. The signage's background shows a crowd at the Pasaż (pedestrian passage) near the Centrum Department stores. Beneath the sign and to the left of the figure, text on paper cut in the the shape of a boot is overlaid. The text provides a description of the happening and expectations of attendees.
