Writing Over

Since 2006 Kasper Andreasen (Copenhagen, 1979) has developed a body of work centered on drawing and mapping. 'Writing Over' is a companion volume to an installation that was part of an exhibition held at Netwerk in Aalst in the summer of 2012. The artist's book is divided into two parts, 'Atlas' and 'Atlas Archive'. The drawings in 'Atlas' are based on landscape photographs, medieval maps, and notations, and are rendered in different types of drawing marks. The works in 'Atlas Archive' are part of a study of writing and drawing surfaces used in the course of a cartographic process: sketches, writings, stamps, and engraving plates. Design and text by Louis Lüthi.
