Documenta 11 Available to Purchase

Addressing the curatorial focus on the status of contemporary artwork as “documents,” the core thematic strand connecting the wide range of artists selected by Okwui Enwezor and his team for the eleventh edition of Documenta, the five-yearly review of contemporary art held in Germany, this chapter underscores the exhibition as a turning point that backgrounded questions of identity so as to foreground an inclusive and ecumenical approach to shared conditions of globality that are everywhere inflected by granular differentiations of locality.
