3. documenta 12/some thoughts

I picked up the first installment of the three proposed magazines for documenta 12 and read it over the weekend. Three overarching questions guide this documenta- Is modernity our antiquity? What is bare life? and What is to be done?- and each magazine explores one of these leitmotifs in depth. The first issue asks, “Is modernity our antiquity?” and it begins with an essay by the same title written by artist Mark Lewis. His essay had a few revelatory morsels that fit in well with the Gillick article I reposted and some other thoughts I’ve been kicking around.
