The press-conference with worldwide known curator Roger Buergel and
presentation of "documenta 12", which will traditionally feature work of
the mega-stars of art, took place in Stella Art Foundation.
The artistic director of "documenta 12" is Roger M. Buergel, an internationally active exhibition organiser and curator who was born in Berlin in 1962. Together with the art historian, Ruth Noack as curator, he, in line with the documenta's claims, will show art from the most various regions of the world and in all conceivable media.
The leitmotifs: Three questions posed for art but also for its public
To initiate such a productive exchange, the documenta posed three questions for art, and also for its public: Is humanity able to recognise a common horizon beyond all differences? Is art the medium for this knowledge? What is to be done, what do we have to learn in order to cope intellectually and spiritually with globalisation? Is that a question of aesthetic education and cultivation? What constitutes life, when everything is subtracted which does not belong essentially to life? Does art help us to penetrate to what is essential?
"Documenta" is an exhibition of modern and contemporary art which now
takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by
artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the
Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in
Kassel at that time. This first documenta featured many artists who are
generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art.
