Edition Unterwegs #01 The artist Scott Robertson has been progressively making more of the ideas and feelings he has. What once began as a list of ideas for actual works, this rolling list, ever evolving, has over the years included more and more hopes, realities, jokes (usually at the expense of himself and/or the work) and after-effects of doing what he does. 100 Things This Show Could Have Been (Project 78, St Leonards-on-Sea, 2024), 100 Things This Book Could Have Been (Version 1 & 2) (2021 & 2023), 100 Things This Work Could Have Been (a takeaway menu made for Meta, Scupper a solo show at Project 78 Gallery, 2017), 52 Things This Work Could Have Been (2015), these have all naturally carried on from one another, and from Robertson’s precarious place in the art world, hanging on in there, distracted by trying to make a living instead. Ideas and feelings are free to store, easy to carry around and don’t require specialist shipping companies. It is a financial decision as much as a creative one. For einBuch.haus, Robertson was invited to create 40 cards for a revolving display to inaugurate the series Edition Unterwegs. The number was decided by the holder of the cards, aligning with the conceptual approaches mentioned above. The cards question themself, their physical place, their format and their limitations in the same way. * Edition Unterwegs is a mobile art exhibition and postcard edition that travels from place to place, adapting to its surroundings while offering a deeply personal experience through small- format works. Each edition invites an artist to create a collection of postcard-sized artworks, designed to be shared, mailed, or collected. 40 Things These Postcards Could Have BeenScott Robertson einBuch.haus, 2025 105 X 148mm, 40 postcards, inside a box Digital Print Edition of 10
