More about the book

“A Set of Lines, A Stack of Paper” is the second exhibition and publication in a series exploring writing, inspired by Vilém Flusser’s essay “The Gesture of Writing.” This work examines the act of writing through the lenses of linguistic, visual, physical, and spatial communication. Flusser outlines essential elements for writing, including a blank surface, a contrasting instrument, the alphabet, conventions for meaning, orthography, grammar, an idea to express, and a motive for expression. By viewing writing as a culturally embedded gesture, the publication bridges artistic, literary, curatorial, and editorial practices. Released alongside the exhibition at KARST, Plymouth (June 5 – July 5, 2015), it includes documentation of the exhibition, installation views, and a curatorial statement. Author Maria Fusco contextualizes the exhibition within contemporary literature, while contributing visual artists enhance the theme with original works created for the book. Notable contributions include texts by Maria Fusco and Franz Thalmair, alongside artistic pieces from Ovidiu Anton, Peter Downsbrough, Heinrich Dunst, Egon van Herreweghe, Ane Mette Hol, Birgit Knoechl, Karolis Kosas, Lotte Lyon, John Wood, and Paul Harrison.
