【空白空间 | 展览预告】 on paper 2 艺术家书
on paper工作室、空白空间以及zapbeijing共同呈现on paper第二个艺术家书展览：“on paper 2”。 展览将于2018年6月30日在空白空间和zapbeijing同时开幕。
艺术家因其日常艺术实践对书产生了独特的理解和认识，以此创作的书，被称作“艺术家书”（artist's book）。艺术家书与一般出版物不同，作品经常直接使用书本的各种物质特性进行创作。即将在空白空间呈现的，是由三十二位艺术家参与的、在多种媒介上关于艺术家书的创作。
同时，“on paper 2” 还将在zapbeijing展出艺术家简策的个人出版物的“行进图”，以分解出艺术家书的另一层面。借由完整呈现艺术家进行布面绘画创作前的准备工作、大量文字及视觉研究、上下文语境的陈述，相关的众多原始资料、手稿、笔记等创作过程记录，此展览旨在如棱镜般解析出艺术家实践的观念光谱。作品也将按照这本新近完成的出版物中的四个主题“人物”、“投射”、“验证码”及“舰队”来展出，以探索一本书的形式和史前史。
“on paper 2”旨在以更为全面立体的方式探索艺术家书这一重要的艺术门类。书是作品本身，中间始终贯穿艺术家的思考和创作理念；艺术家书还是一本书。然而，处在出版物及艺术作品中缝之间的艺术家书，在何种意义上是一本“书”？绘画或影像中的书，是否仅是“书的再现”而已？我们将从正、背两个方向思考这一问题。
展览将在空白空间及zapbeijing两个场地同时进行，持续至2018年8月5日。

on paper Studio, WHITE SPACE BEIJING and zapbeijing co-present the second exhibition of artists’ books, on paper 2. The exhibition opens on June 30th, 2018 at WHITE SPACE BEIJING and zapbeijing.
The "artist’s book" is a genre created by an artist based on his or her everyday practice and unique understanding of the book itself as a medium. Distinct from an ordinary print publication, it often deals directly with and reflects on the material and physical aspects that define a book. The on paper 2 project encompasses a group exhibition of works by 32 artists at WHITE SPACE BEIJING, as well as a personal publication project by Ce Jian, at the zapbeijing space. Departing from the on paper one exhibition in 2017, on paper 2 showcases not only the books themselves, but also paintings, drawings, videos and installations pertaining directly and indirectly to the theme.
On view at zapbeijing is a "map" of the various routes Ce Jian has taken in the process of creating her own publication. The exhibition comprehensively demonstrates the artist’s numerous tasks, from preparing for her works on canvas, delving into extensive textual and visual research, to the artist’s effort to make sense of, associate and contextualise her long-term practice. The four themes in her publication— the figure, the projection, and the CAPTCHA and Armada series — are meticulously narrated through the various original, first-hand materials, archives, manuscripts and notes, all on view in the zapbeijing space. The exhibition aims to expand a newly produced publication in an exhibition space, with the purpose of exploring the form and the prehistory of the book.

on paper 2 deals with the important genre of the artist’s book in a more comprehensive fashion than ever before. The book is a work of art — one that thoroughly illustrates the artist’s ideas of and reflections on his or her long-term artistic practice. At the same time, the artist’s book is just a book. Lying in between a form of publication and a form of artwork, how is it properly a book? A book in a painting or in a film — how is that merely a representation of a book? The current exhibition explores these questions recto and verso.
The on paper 2 exhibition will continue through August 5th, 2018.
