Ruppersberg’s “Library Floor” (1994) is made of black and white chequered linoleum on which words have been inscribed, representing entries in the artist’s imaginary library. This work will play different roles in the exhibition, which takes it as its physical as much as conceptual frame. Departing from this imaginary library, the exhibition – which runs over a period of 20 days - intends to explore the multi-faceted role of the artist as author, narrator and fictional character, looking at various artistic practices that are drawn to the performative dimension of language and the invention of fictions.
