Encyclopedia of Fictional Artists (1605 – today) is a publication by Koen Brams, who together with co-editors developed a compilation of biographies from fictional artists as presented in world literature. Although previously published and distributed as literature, this compilation provokes the perception of the art context as a descriptive and historical narrative and is therefore to be seen as a conceptual framework for potential artistic additions.

Edited by Koen Brams

The Addition is a separate compilation of autonomous responses towards the encyclopedic book whose content remains descriptive and informative. Serving as a collection of artistic contributions, The Addition cryptically unfolds and (de) constructs the ways in which fiction manifests itself within language and artistic production.
