‘Zuhandenheit’ [ready-to-hand] – a Heideggerian term used to explore the meaning and functionality of objects in relation to man / human beings – is activated throughout On Paper by making readable objects available to the visitors of the biennale; and by creating a tangible echo of the biennale works on paper. This ‘Zuhandenheit’ is not only grounded in the form of the project, but also in the content of the first part of On Paper : A Prior #17 with artists David Maljkovic, Daniel Knorr, Kristina Normann, Kateřina Šedá and Alexander Vaindorf.

The second part of On Paper consists of six separate publications and limited editions conceived by Ahmet Öğüt , Kristina Norman, Manon de Boer, Susanne Kriemann, Cezary Bodzianowski and Paulina Olowska. Each of these editions forms a unique ‘object’ that, as paper, is tied to the dematerialized realm of conceptual art, but that also cannot be thought of outside its object status. As such they may be the quintessential ‘things that cast no shadow’, thus sounding a tangible echo of certain works at the biennial.

On Paper will be presented at PRO-QM, Almstadtstrasse 48-50, 10119 Berlin, on Friday, April 4th, between 3 and 5 pm.
On Paper will further be on display and available at KW, Institut for Contemporary Art, Auguststrasse 69, 10117 Berlin and through the usual distribution network, copies may also be ordered directly at our Ghent office
