The Slovakian artist Roman Ondák is internationally regarded to be one of pioneering artists of a new generation of conceptual, installation and performance artisty. Ondák uses primarily everyday situations as a basis for staged works that invite the viewer to become an active participant in unusual borderline experiences and transgressions. ''do not walk outside this area'' is a sign that many airline passengers recall from gazing randomly out of the window at the airplane's wing. In Ondák's solo exhibition, which accompanies his selection as Deutsche Bank's ''Artist of the Year'' 2012, he takes this sign as an iccasion to offer exhibition visitors a chance to walk across a real airplane wing. In the edition to the show, Ondák miniaturizes this monumental installation. The image of a man standing on the wing appears here on a postage stamp, engraved in steel engraving technique according to the artist's instructions by the Slovakian master engraver Martin Činovský. The idea of the ''Man on the Wing'' who ventures outside the allowed territory is thereby reproduced in the medium that ensures the day-by-day transnational journey of words and ideas.
