In this remarkable artist's book, French conceptual artist/provocateur Sophie Calle presents 107 outside interpretations of a 'break-up' e-mail she received from her lover the day he ended their affair. All of the interpreters of Calle's break-up letter were women, and each was asked to analyse the document according to her profession – so that a writer comments on its style, a justice issues judgment, a lawyer defends Calle's ex-lover, a psychoanalyst studies his psychology, a mediator tries to find a path towards reconciliation, a proofreader provides a literal edit of the text, etc. In addition, Calle asked a variety of performers, including Nathalie Dessay, Laurie Anderson and Jeanne Moreau, among others, to act the letter out. She filmed the singers and actresses and photographed the other contributors, so that each printed interpretation stands alongside at least one riveting image of its author, and some are also accompanied by digital documentation.

Carsten Holler "Aquarium" 1996

On the day her exhibition opens in Basel, Antoanetta Marinov walks around the city and approaches people to hire them as spectators for the opening. In her text piece Fünf Betrachter (Five Spectators) Marinov reconstructs the moment of agreement between artist and pedestrian.  She does so by reconstructing the questions which she asked. The process of searching for a sentence and/or forming a sentence is visualized through variations of questions.

Since 2013 A# has continued as a cooperative process between its initiator Max Leiß and invited guests. Each issue contains contributions by various artists, as well as portraits and interviews. Thus, A# becomes a dialogue that takes place on a visual, sensitive and textual level.

Knizak aims to create situations and to redefine the dimensions of a book. The reader is invited to take the pages and to rearrange them on the table or in the entire room, which lets the reading space unfold in a new and literal way.
