For Artistic Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, dOCUMENTA (13) is a field in a state of definition suggested by the phrase, “The dance was very frenetic, lively, rattling, clanging, rolling, contorted and lasted for a long time."

As a preview to dOCUMENTA (13), and as a part of it, various activities have already been realized. These include a conference in Turin in September 2009; the AND AND AND projects, which have been ongoing since June 2010; the installation on the summer solstice of 2010 of the sculpture "Idee di Pietra" by Giuseppe Penone in Karlsaue Park; and the screening on Valentine’s Day of Pierre Huyghe’s film "The Host and the Cloud" at Kassel’s Gloria cinema.

Additionally, two artists’ books have been published by Hatje Cantz: Guillermo Faivovich and "The Campo del Cielo Meteorites – Vol. 1: El Taco", and "seeing studies", edited by Natascha Sadr Haghighian and Ashkan Sepahvand for the institute for incongruous translation. And finally, the first publications within the "100 Notes – 100 Thoughts" series of notebooks have appeared and will be followed by many more.

Opening: June 9, 2012
