The live broadcast brought me a fresh feeling about documenta 15. I felt the energy and vibrancy of the exhibition like never before. Following the online broadcast throughout documenta 15, we were able to see firsthand how the works connected with the city of Kassel and with the audience.I think all these works together shape a colorful, vibrant atmosphere that takes root in the whole environment, as if they are inviting you. I think documenta 15 is really a documenta that requires everyone to participate, to collaborate, to get involved. Thus, it is even more regrettable that we cannot visit the site in person.
The whole exhibition is constantly changing, always in process, like an organic ecosystem, inviting and expecting the participation of each element to change the face of documenta 15. Such a curatorial and presentational approach is very interesting and almost something I had never imagined an exhibition could be. Our curatorial thinking may be stuck in „raising questions and letting the works reflect those questions“ or „organizing the works to tell a story“. documenta 15 presents a different kind of idea. What I find most exciting about Document 15 is that there is almost no distance between the curators, the artists, the works and the audience. No matter what the “ question“ or “ story“ is, the boundary between the teller and the listener is blurred. This openness and variability also means challenges in terms of coordination and management of all aspects, which require a holistic and flexible response.
