Documenta 14_i Had Nowhere To Go

For the following weeks, this column will be dedicated to discuss some of the works exhibited at the Documenta 14 in Kassel, Germany.

Mariechen Danz

With meditative and mantric monologues, musical performances and installations rich in materials, Scottish artist Mariechen Danz seeks the knowledge and power contained inside each human body. As the lips move, tendons relax and tense again. Electricity pulses through causeways built from a thousand riches gathered from each corner of the universe. Saliva coils in liquid…

Aernout Mik

Through a combination of video and performances, Dutch artist Aernout Mik decomposes social structures and turns them into uncertain and fragile gatherings full of potential and violence. Come, tornadoes of togetherness. We take on the invisible corridors that would seek to separate us. We turn them into...into what? There would have seem to be an…
