The 17th issue of A Prior brings together four participants in the 5th Berlin Biennial, who all hail from what were often deemed 'problem' zones within the European geopolitical sphere of Eastern Europe - Croatia, Estonia, Romania. The research-based artistic practices of Zagreb-based Croatian artist David Maljkovic, Kristina Norman from Estonia, and the Berlin-based Romanian artist Daniel Knorr, share a number of interesting characteristics (needless to say that they are also, thankfully, wildly divergent), but foremost among them is perhaps a shared readiness to attend to the fragmented testimony of history's material traces in their respective old or newly adopted home countries. As such, their work shares a distinct enthusiasm for things, be they minute scraps of paper or giant monuments left to rust in the wilderness of the post-political. These things are understood as active repositories of historical memory - an essentially optimistic, yet elegiac brand of dialectical materialism pervades these artists' practice, one that thrives particularly well in a self-consciously nostalgic metropolis such as Berlin.
