News da Documenta

 

Dopo alcune settimane di complessità è stato riavviato il processo di realizzazione della prossima documenta, ecco il nuovo comitato che è stato reso pubblico recentemente. 

Sei eminenti esperti internazionali di arte contemporanea sono stati nominati nel nuovo Comitato di Ricerca di documenta 16, approvato all'unanimità dal Consiglio di Sorveglianza su proposta dell'Amministratore Delegato. Il Comitato riunisce Yilmaz Dziewior, Sergio Edelsztein, N'Goné Fall, Gridthiya Gaweewong, Mami Kataoka e Yasmil Raymond.

Il comitato di ricerca ha il compito di invitare figure pionieristiche dell'arte contemporanea a presentare il loro concetto per diventare la direzione artistica di documenta 16 a Kassel e di selezionare quindi il formato più promettente per l'implementazione tra quelli presentati.

L'amministratore delegato di documenta und Museum Fridericianum gGmbH, Andreas Hoffmann, afferma: "Sono lieto che siamo riusciti ad attirare un comitato di ricerca di così alto livello per documenta 16, subito dopo lo sviluppo organizzativo. Con la loro comprovata competenza e background diversificati , i partecipanti rappresentano in modo straordinario la diversità e il carattere internazionale delle mostre di documenta. Con il loro impegno nei confronti del comitato di ricerca dimostrano un grande senso di responsabilità per l'arte contemporanea e documenta in questo momento molto speciale – cosa per cui mi piacerebbe. Ringrazio sinceramente tutti i membri del Comitato. Non vedo l'ora di lavorare con loro e di procedere con risolutezza verso documenta 16 con questa formazione. Sono certo che la composizione esperta e multiprospettiva del nuovo Comitato di ricerca sarà guida ad una proposta lungimirante per la direzione artistica. Ciò pone le basi affinché il mondo dell'arte internazionale possa essere ancora una volta un ospite familiare e gradito a Kassel."

Arrivano i Ruangrupa per Documenta 15

La direzione artistica di Documenta 15 a Kassel, oggi ha annunciato il nominativo del curatore, che in realtà sarà un gruppo di artisti indonesiani, cioè “Ruangrupa”. Altro forte segnala che il ruolo dei curatore sta lentamente declinando, confermando sempre più quel sentore di debolezza di queste figure, che troppo spesso si occupano più di promuovere filiere relazioni anziché progetti artistici. 

Altra interessante notizia il fatto che questo gruppo di persone non è legato al forte sistema dell’arte ma nasce da un’ambiente alquanto autonomo. 

Le ultime documente sono state alquanto bruttine, una serie di edizioni confuse e troppo spesso banali. Si è visto sempre meno arte e sempre più tante inutili pippe mentali, troppo spesso autoreferenziali o assurde nel loro illusione di essere cultura. 

Vedremo fra quattro anni che cosa riusciranno a fare questo bel gruppo di persone, soprattutto se sapranno superare certe desuete strategie.

ruangrupa Selected as Artistic Direction of documenta 15

For the First Time an Artist Collective Curates the International Art Exhibition 

 

Nominated unanimously by the International Finding Committee the Supervisory Board appointed ruangrupa, a collective of artists and creatives from Jakarta, Indonesia, with a ten-member core as the artistic direction of documenta 15. This was announced by the general director of documenta und Museum Fridericianum gGmbH, Dr. Sabine Schormann, today.

 

As a result, documenta will be organized by an artist collective for the first time. documenta 15 takes place from 18 June to 25 September 2022 in Kassel.

For the eight-member Finding Committee, Elvira Dyangani Ose (director of The Showroom, London) and Philippe Pirotte (director of the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste – Städelschule, and director of Portikus, Frankfurt am Main) gave the following reasons for the unanimous decision: “We have appointed ruangrupa because they have demonstrated the ability to appeal to various communities, including groups that go beyond pure art audiences, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their curatorial approach is based on an international network of local community-based art organizations. We are eager to see how ruangrupa will develop a concrete project for and from Kassel. At a time when innovative strength particularly stems from independent organizations active on the community level, it seems only logical to offer this collective approach a platform with documenta.”

The Indonesian word ruangrupa loosely translates as “a space for art” or “a space form.” This field of tension is already apparent from the collective’s central curatorial approach. Farid Rakun and Ade Darmawan, who represented ruangrupa today in Kassel, formulated their decidedly participatory curatorial goals for the international art exhibition in 2022 as follows: “We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will have an impact beyond the 100 days of documenta 15. Our curatorial approach aims at a different community-oriented model of resource usage – economical, but also taking ideas, knowledge, programs and innovations into account. If documenta was launched in 1955 to heal war wounds, why shouldn’t we focus documenta 15 on today’s injuries, especially ones rooted in colonialism, capitalism, or patriarchal structures, and contrast them with partnership-based models that enable people to have a different view of the world.”

The collective was founded in 2000 in Jakarta, Indonesia. ruangrupa runs an art space in South Jakarta and realizes exhibitions, festivals, publications and radio formats. The collective has participated in many cooperation and exhibition projects, including the Gwangju Biennale (2002 und 2018), the Istanbul Biennale (2005), the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (Brisbane, 2012), the Singapore Biennale (2011), the São Paulo Biennale (2014), the Aichi Triennale (Nagoya, 2016) and Cosmopolis at Centre Pompidou (Paris, 2017). In 2016, ruangrupa curated TRANSaction: Sonsbeek 2016 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. In 2018, the participants founded GUDSKUL, an educational and networking project for creatives based on cooperative work.

At documenta 14, ruangrupa participated with its internet radio station as a partner of the decentralized radio project Every Time a Ear di Soun, which brought together eight worldwide radio stations. ruangrupa is a nonprofit organisation. At least one member of the organisation will spend a lot of time in Kassel for the preparation of documenta 15.

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of documenta und Museum Fridericianum gGmbH, Lord Mayor Christian Geselle, welcomed the Finding Committee’s selection:

“For ruangrupa, the principle of networking is of central importance. From Kassel, interdisciplinary artistic interventions will be initiated, which will make the documenta city visible internationally and bring the (art) world to Kassel, as it were. Our city can only benefit from this. I am pleased that documenta is looking to the future in such an exciting way.”

The Hessian Minister of Higher Education, Research and the Arts, Angela Dorn, stresses the potential of social debate: ” I am already looking forward to the fact that in three years, with documenta 15, Kassel will again be hosting the world’s most important contemporary art exhibition. The state of Hesse is proud to enable this platform, which promotes discussion of cultural positions today as well as perspectives for the future. With the expansion of the documenta archive into an independent research institute we will further strengthen contemporary art in Kassel. I congratulate the Finding Committee, which proposed the Indonesian artist collective for the artistic direction of the next documenta, and am pleased that the Supervisory Board followed this suggestion. With the selection, documenta is consciously giving room to the non-European view of the art world and bringing the world to Hesse in a completely new way. ruangrupa uses art in its home country to address public issues and problems. I’m looking forward to seeing how they incorporate this idea in documenta 15.”

Hortensia Völckers, director of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, is eagerly looking forward to seeing how the concept is developed further: “As the German Federal Cultural Foundation, we were very pleased about the successful course of the process to find the artistic direction of documenta 15 and congratulate all participants on a result that makes us expect an interesting and inspiring documenta. We are happy to be part of this process and to be able to contribute our expertise to such a renowned exhibition project.”

Sabine Schormann paid tribute to the great commitment of all members of the international Finding Committee: “I would like to thank the international Finding Committee for a dedicated and intensive selection process, which with the presentation of ruangrupa as Artistic Direction sends a strong signal for a vibrant and sustainable documenta 15. I am looking forward to seeing how the participatory approaches are made more specific in the development process.”

The Finding Committee for documenta 15 is composed of the following experts:

Ute Meta Bauer, founding director, NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore; Charles Esche, director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Netherlands; Amar Kanwar, artist and documentary filmmaker, New Delhi, India; Frances Morris, director of Tate Modern in London, Great Britain; Gabi Ngcobo, curator of the 10th Berlin Biennale 2018 in Germany (South Africa); Elvira Dyangani Ose, director of The Showroom London, England; Philippe Pirotte, director of the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste – Städelschule Frankfurt/M., Germany (Belgium); Jochen Volz, director of Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Brazil.

Documenta a Kassel

Anche a Kassel ci vorranno un buon paio di scarpe e una pratica mappa, come già è successo ad Atene. Questa la prima certezza per la prossima inaugurazione di Documenta a Kassel che aprirà al pubblico dal 10 Giugno.

Anche nella cittadina dell’Assia il progetto del curatore Adam Szymczyk è stato sbriciolato in tantissime sedi espositivi.

Centrale sarà sicuramente il grande "Partenone dei libri proibiti" di Marta Minujín posto davanti al Fredericianum mentre saranno una trentina i luoghi delle mostre dallo storico Ottoneum a un piccolo sottopassaggio stradale.

Questa articolata distribuzione di interventi vuole agire come immersione quotidiana del fare artistico, partecipazione al tessuto urbano vissuto dalla popolazione e percepito dal visitatore. Un tentativo di evitare la tipica estraniazione del “turismo- culturale”.

Documenta 14 a Kassel

Ecco la lunga lista di eventi per l'apertura di Documenta a Kassel, anche in questo caso mi domando fino a che punto si faccia arte e se non si scivola sempre più nello spettacolo, a scapito di vera arte visiva. 

Inauguration Week Program of documenta 14 in Kassel

On June 10, documenta 14 opens its exhibition in Kassel. Extending over the city in more than 30 different public institutions, squares, cinemas, and university locations over 160 international artists show works newly conceived for documenta 14. Artistic director Adam Szymczyk is proposing that visitors follow a parcours of documenta 14 in Kassel. This parcours begins at the Former Underground Train Station (KulturBahnhof) and extends through the Nordstadt district across Friedrichsplatz and in a southerly direction to the Torwache, the unfinished city gate. The parcours route, as well as information about the exhibition venues, can be found on the website of documenta 14. The main exhibition venues are open from 10 am to 8 pm. Tickets are available online via documenta 14 and from June 10 at the documenta 14 shops on Friedrichsplatz, documenta Halle, Neue Galerie, and Neue Neue Galerie. Please note the ticket information on the website of documenta 14. We are pleased to share the inauguration week’s program with you, and we warmly invite you to attend.
