Archive Context
On Art brings together a group of essays and letters written during a period of development in Michael Baastrup Chang’s artistic practice between 2010 and 2013.
The texts address questions arising from the studio, from the making and viewing of art, and from the relationship between artistic practice and wider cultural, philosophical and material questions.
The collection is preserved as an historical record of the artist’s thinking and writing during this period. The individual texts remain separate archival records so that their original subjects, dates and contexts can be documented independently.
