As an echo to Papco’s work, the gallery invited other artists to contribute their notes on several topics : verticality and its politics, gravity and perspective, the terrestrial and the cosmic. These artists include Kapwani Kiwanga, Wesley Meuris, Sophie Ristelhueber and Yu Hsin Su as well as an interview by Julius Koller drawing on his fictional institution located between the earth and the cosmos.
