Screen print accompanied by a Book by Rudolf Carnap: "Scheinprobleme in der Philosophie. Das Fremdpsychische und der Realismusstreit" (Pseudo-Problems in Philosophy. The External World and the Debate on Realism); Release date: March 2006 Languages: German. Format: 24.3 × 16.3 cm. Edition of 200, signed and numbered. Ex Libris #9 (2006) by Thomas Demand is a screenprint accompanied by a reprint of Rudolf Carnap’s philosophical text Scheinprobleme in der Philosophie. The image depicts a desiccated, brown-leafed potted plant in stark lighting, evoking a sense of quiet decay and formal stillness. Characteristically, Demand photographs hyperreal paper constructions, and here, the artificiality of the object contrasts with the philosophical depth of Carnap’s treatise on pseudo-problems and realism. Part of the celebrated Ex Libris series, this edition highlights the personal intellectual influences on contemporary artists. The book and print are presented together in a signed, numbered edition of 200, giving new context and visibility to historical texts through an artist’s conceptual lens.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
