Footnote originated in the basement of a large castle in Poland, around Halloween time, in near-total darkness. The few people who saw the exhibit took pictures.1 Just as R. H. Quaytman’s 1999 replica of Katarzyna Kobro’s 1928 Spatial Composition 2, presented in Footnote 6, is a reversed reconstruction of the original work, Footnote seeks to upend established orders of legibility. Instead of the main text, the footnote appears as primary here, in the format of an exhibition. And both the main subject of interest – avant-garde sculptor Katarzyna Kobro – and the project’s curator, emerge from the sphere of the ‘margin.’
