Reviewing documenta 14
After
the closing of the hotly debated documenta 14 at both its sites, let’s dicuss an exhibition that has been a singularly risky
enterprise:
with a highly subtle curatorial stance renouncing signature works that has questioned
documenta’s role as a showcase for contemporary art, an anthropologisation of artistic practice that has been critizied as
re-colonisation, and a somewhat elusive, but highly politicized romanticism asking for a reinstitution of the body in conceptual
and post-conceptual art while often hovering under individual radars of perception.
What can we learn from the failures
and successes of documenta 14?
