The artist's book Struktur results from layering, overlaying, and printing with different materials (such as bubble wrap, cotton cloth, a linoleum sheet, a cabbage leaf) that usually resist print. By printing them onto different papers, combining materials into new compositions across the five chapters, he turns the reader's attention toward the printing process itself. Struktur is where this process ends up and is carried into an object a reader can hold and leaf through. For Tuttas, the page is not where a finished idea is shown, but where it is still being tested. The grey podiums at the centre of the exhibition space open this process up, showing the materials and test prints behind Struktur's five chapters. Blick aufs Meer carries the same instinct further: three long printed strips, gathering the sea's moods from Skye, the Portuguese and the Baltic coast, folded into a single continuous surface that unfolds across the main wall of the exhibition space. What sets these books apart is that the entire production runs through one person. Tuttas writes, prints, and binds Struktur and Blicks aufs Meer himself, so that every step from the first material test to the final fold carries his own decision. Beyond these two works, einBuch.haus also presents a selection of books Tuttas has made in dialogue with other artists: landscape:escapeland and Grenzen/Hranice . For this exhibition, Tuttas has produced a new series of fanfolds, carrying Struktur 's material experiments into new territory. Read more Toggle Prints Multi-disciplinary Drawing
