Inhaltsangabe

The main catalogue of documenta 14 will take the form of a reader, evoking the various meanings associated with the term. The documenta 14 reader will both reflect the reading subject and the subject who reads or recites to an audience―emphasizing the importance of literature, orality, performance, pedagogy, and radical reception for the documenta 14 project overall―as well as comprise a critical anthology that features international theoretical, historical, and literary writing that explores and expands on the attendant exhibitions in Athens and Kassel.

The indigo ribbon that marks the pages of the book was prepared at the MENTIS Center for the Preservation of Traditional Textile Techniques, part of the Benaki Museum, in Athens. Cotton thread was dyed in an indigo vat prepared by documenta 14 artist Aboubakar Fofana, and woven into ribbon using the machines that make up the MENTIS donation in what remains a "living workshop museum" at 6 Polyfimou Street.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

First conceived in 1955 by Arnold Bode, the inaugural documenta exhibition endeavored to bring Germany back into artistic dialogue with the rest of the post-war world. More than sixty years later, documenta 14 returns to its initial motivation by extending its base in the city of Kassel, Germany to Athens, Greece. Accompanying documenta 14, this book functions as a "reader," evoking the various meanings associated with that term. Emphasizing the importance of literature, storytelling, performance, and pedagogy, it features illustrations and critical writings that address and expand upon the exhibition's theme of economic and cultural realities in a new world. As the current social and political trends in Europe and the world have divided people geographically and economically, this documenta returns to its roots-bringing to light another significant moment in world history.
