Art as Event: A Reconstruction of Method and Thought in Ink Practice (1992–2026) - English, revised and expanded edition

Art as Event: A Reconstruction of Method and Thought in Ink Work (1992–2026) is the revised and expanded English edition of Alfred Freddy Krupa’s authorial reconstruction of more than three decades of artistic practice, theoretical reflection, and research in ink. Building on the first Croatian edition, the book situates Krupa’s work within a broader international context of contemporary New Ink Art, practice-based research, and art-science thinking.

Combining early notes, the 1996 New Ink Art Manifesto, later essays, morphological analyses, psychological readings, AI-assisted interpretations, and sonification-based approaches, the book develops the thesis that art is not merely an object or representation, but an event in time, while the artwork remains its material trace.

Through the medium of ink, Krupa examines immediacy, gesture, reduction, psychophysical tension, emptiness, chance, and control, while opening comparative links with morphology, physics, systems theory, network models, and contemporary art-science methodologies. The English edition presents the book as both a theoretical statement and a documentary reconstruction of a contemporary Western line of New Ink Art practice.
