In advance of the exhibition in Kassel, \"documenta 12\" magazines have opened up a central site for reflection and visual contemplation. Since early 2006, influential journals in the realm of art, as well as specialist publications operating in discursive fields beyond the major art centres, have been publishing and discussing contributions - essays, interviews, photo reportages, features, interventions from artists and articles of fiction - in relation to \"documenta 12's\" three main themes: Is modernity our antiquity? What is bare life? What is to be done? The \"documenta 12\" magazine will subsequently assemble and summarize these debates and provide a selection of core texts and images. The first issue of this \"journal of journals\" will be published in January 2007; issues 2 and 3 will follow in February and April 2007. Good texts help us to understand more about what we see: in this sense, the \"documenta 12\" magazine aims to provide background knowledge prior to the exhibition, without restricting in any way the individual experience of viewing the artworks themselves. The broadly conceived themes of Modernity?, Life! and Education: are in fact intended to increase our appetite for images, because the significance of art lies within art itself - in its ambiguity, contrariness and stubborn independence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582683422993,"sku":"GOR004832986","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3822815322.jpg?v=1750774096"},{"product_id":"documenta-12-magazine-book-georg-schollhammer-9783822825303","title":"Documenta 12 Magazine","description":"The documenta 12 magazines are a collective worldwide editorial project linking over 80 print and on-line periodicals, as well as other media.

Artists are photographing the exhibition for a book of images: the artworks and the spaces, the spaces between the artworks, and the beautiful Kassel setting. This photo volume presents the art projects that were produced especially for documenta 12, as seen by twelve photographers commissioned for this book project. About documenta: documenta is regarded as the most important exhibition of contemporary art, drawing attention from all over the world. This international exhibition, often called the Hundred Day Museum became an unparalleled success. The number of visitors has continually risen. More than 650 thousand visitors came to documenta 11. Under continually changing directorship, and in the equally leisurely and inexorable rhythm of five years, documenta has advanced to become an authoritative worldwide seismograph of contemporary art. At documenta, it becomes manifest whether art is succeeding in grasping the world in images and whether these images have validity for its public.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631450693905,"sku":"GOR012850894","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3822816949.jpg?v=1751318088"},{"product_id":"documenta-12-book-roger-buergel-9783822816776","title":"Documenta 12","description":"Documenta is regarded as the most important exhibition of contemporary art, drawing attention from all over the world.
