The China Moment. Contextualizing Individualism in Chinese Contemporary Art
The documenta Institut invites you to its first research exhibition at the Kasseler Kunstverein. With The China Moment, the documenta Institut focuses on a decisive phase in contemporary Chinese art.
Buchpräsentation "Seeing through China"
As part of the exhibition “The China Moment. Contextualizing Individualism in Contemporary Chinese Art,” there will be a book presentation of the interview collection “Seeing through China,” in which Heinz Bude talks with Mi You and Andreas Schmid about China from the 1980s to the 2000s.
Call for Abstracts: Kunst – Ausstellung – Diskurs
We invite scholars from various disciplines, artists, designers, and early-career researchers to submit their abstracts! About a year before the opening of documenta 16 (2027), the conference will examine the relevance, functions, and uses of theoretical discourse at contemporary art exhibitions. Naomi Beckwith, director of the upcoming documenta, most recently curated the exhibition "ECHO DELAY REVERB" at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, which traced the far-reaching influence of so-called "French theory" on American art. She argues that this theory was not only received linearly, but also changed and productively misunderstood in the course of its artistic translation.
