Rather than focusing on a retroactive documentation of the various stages of the project, or the original point of departure for Indicated by Signs (depiction of forms of appearance in contemporary artistic practices), the structure of the publication follows a logic designed upon three key leitmotifs as the titles suggests. These lines of enquiry have been formulated through an intensive scanning of the artworks presented by the participating artists and the disciplines from which they draw their inspiration. The creation of a platform for new artistic production is a principal impulse driving the publication. It consists mostly of 'site-specific' contributions conceived for the capacities of a publication: essays, scholarly texts, conversations and art projects, developed in dialogue with the editors. Tones and approaches vary. Shifting between theoretical and lyrical to analytical, introspective and critical, these degrees of densities are deliberate and shape a difficult discursive terrain.   Editor: HAMZAMOLNAR (Aleya Hamza and Edit Molnár) Arabic editor: Lina Attalah Design: eps51 Design Studio (Sascha Thoma and Ben Wittner) Arabic Typesetting: Reem Naiem and eps51 Translation to Arabic: Mostafa Hashish Published by Bonner Kunstverein (www.bonnerkunstverein.de) Indicated by Signs project was initiated and supported by the Goethe-Institut, Kairo. > January 25, 2011   <- Back to: Discourse/Presentations
