John McCracken's 'Planks' are works of art in the form of narrow, upright planks made of wood and strong, glossy polyester, often in bright monochrome colours, and leaning against the wall. Today, they are spread across collections all over the world.

Vedran Kopljar is very interested in language, communication and perception. He became fascinated by the 'Planks', and decided to look into whether it would be between for him to communicate with work of art, and if so, which.

In 2019, he began to look up some of McCracken's works. He often spent hours with a plank. He also started writing letters to the planks. These 'Plank Communications' often consist of so-called dessin automatique or colours - an attempt to approximate the language of the plank itself. He designed the stationery especially for this purpose. Kopljar makes a carbon copy of each letter. These will be added to the archives of the Plank Communication Center, which are kept at M.
