One Plus One is an exhibition about the space of the book and forms of publication. Based on the work of Berlin designer and gallerist Christian Chruxin (1937–2006), current publications by the artists Peggy Buth (Desire in Representation, 2010), Achim Lengerer (Scriptings, since 2009), Dierk Schmidt (The Division of the Earth, 2010), and Helene Sommer (I am (t)here, 2009) are placed in a historical constellation. Chruxin was influenced by "visual poetry" and is considered the inventor of the format of the "portable gallery" as well as the "interactive and permulative poster." In bringing his design practice – based along the lines of the Kasseler Werkschule – up to date, new possibilities of interpreting artist books are explored. The title of the exhibition comes from the film Sympathy for the Devil (or One Plus One, 1968) by Jean-Luc Godard. Books can be fictional as well as discursively designed "media spaces" that can be organized as social practice (p-r-o-x-y). Select works by artist László Lakner point to the books’ social context.
