Here’s the Artist List for Documenta 14
After years of secrecy, Documenta 14 has quietly released its artist list on its website. This year’s quinquennial, which is headed by Adam Szymczyk, takes place in Athens and Kassel, Germany. Its Greek half opens to the public on Saturday, and a preview was held this morning.
Documenta’s organizers had been notably tight-lipped about the artist list and details around this year’s edition, citing the fact that they didn’t want to play into the art-world PR cycle. Some projects were known already—Maria Eichhorn’s Rose Valland Institute, for example—but for the most part, Documenta 14’s details had been kept under wraps.
At this morning’s preview the artists were unveiled—quite literally. A stage curtain was lifted to reveal all the curators and artists (minus the deceased ones, of which there are quite a few), who were seated in rows, like students at a graduation ceremony. A choir performing a Jani Christou was the soundtrack for the event.
Below is the artist list for the Athens half, which takes place at some 47 venues and opens this Saturday. A complete list of venues, events, and performances is available on Documenta’s website.
