Robert Ruscoe makes artistamps and his contribution to the project was entitled "project for a stamp".
He sent a rubber stamp showing Professor Pieter Zeeman in the so-called "Zeemanpose" and the rubber stamp was used to make Artistamps.
All contributors to the show received this Artistamps.
One year later Dutch P.T.T. realised a Professor Zeeman Stamp of 70 cents.
In 1962 Sweden honored Nobelprice-winner Zeeman with a Postage stamp.

After the first exhibition Ever Arts sent catalogues to the participants and a special post-card to those who attended to the opening and to others who were interested in the show.
The text on that card:

PROFESSOR ZEEMAN HAT EIN' VOGEL
PROFESSOR ZEEMAN IST NATRIUMGELB
WELCHE FARBE HAT DIE SEE, MANN

Mailartists started to send answers to this text and the "Professor Zeeman Goes Crea" part 2 was born.
