documenta 12 Magazine No. 1-3 Reader
The sampler of all three magazines for documenta 12, the world's most important contemporary art event (June 16 to September 23, 2007)
The documenta 12 magazines are a collective worldwide editorial project linking over eighty print and on-line periodicals, as well as other media. 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?
This Book is a compilation of all three magazines with an editorial by editor Georg Schöllhammer about the project.
