The curatorial team and process for dOCUMENTA (13) has been announced. The exhibition will be held in various locations and will include new works by more than 100 artists from around the world. In some cases these will be presented as parts of projects with other artists, agents, or persons active in cultural fields including science and literature. A number of historical artworks will also be exhibited in these interrelated ideas, conversations and parallel stories.
Artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev is planning the event with a number of agents, advisors and artists who contribute in various ways, with different levels of engagement, aimed at creating a generative process that is organic and affective, open to change. She says: "In an art world dominated by the curatorial, to act without a pre-defined curatorial plan offers a possibility to both repeat the network of connectivity of the digital age, while also reflecting on its shortcomings and implications from a critical viewpoint."
