Footnotes I have never seen was published on the occasion of the eponymous group exhibition at Beletage in Zurich (January-March 2022) and contains a set of sixteen postcards by each of the artists participating in the show: as two doubles, two halves, top and bottom, the one relating to the other – layed out in such a way that by flipping through (or removing one), the other cards will touch in new constellations.
Conceived from a love for the footnote, the postcard book is framed by a newly written and an already existing text, starting with the footnote apparatus that was used for For, after, to and because at Rongwrong and Rozenstraat in Amsterdam (June-July 2021) and ending on a list of publications in the reading room and across the show, as a note to the exhibition itself that remains when all the cards have been sent away.
The publication has been made possible by the kind support of Fondation Jan Michalski, Mondriaan Fonds and Stichting Stokroos
