The Next Documenta Should Be Curated By An Artist
During a discussion between artist Carsten Höller and the curator Jens Hoffmann during a meeting in Stockholm in 2002 right after the opening of Documenta 11 an idea emerged that was based on a conversation around concepts of some of the previous Documenta exhibitions and other large scale shows. Towards the end of the meeting one of the conclusive comments of Höller was: "I think that it would be an enormous development if one day an artist would curate a show like Documenta." Based on Höller's wish and formed by the thoughts expressed during the discussion in Sweden grew The Next Documenta Should Be Curated By an Artist.
Today it is nothing exceptional that curators occupy a more noticeable role in the process of producing an exhibition than some decades ago. While their task was historically related to the conservation of art works and the maintenance of a museum collection, curators began more and more to be creatively and conceptually involved in the making of exhibitions. Exhibitions became the creative principle of so-called exhibition makers who were described as exhibition directors and which became catalysts between the creative individual and society. Yet in recent years the focus has shifted again and exhibitions in which art works are employed to illustrate the fixations of curators have been widely criticized. The creative and intellectual exchange between artists and curators has, however, been irreversibly changed and created a new condition in this relationship. It is on this backdrop that The Next Documenta Should Be Curated By an Artist is coming together.
The title of this project is less a demand than a question. A question that in no way articulates a critique of previous Documenta exhibitions but rather investigates in a provocative way the relationship that artists have to the profession of curating. Curators are showing more and more interest in setting up art exhibitions with larger creatively while artists are becoming more seriously involved in curating, especially in large-scale international group exhibitions' note, for example, the participation of Gabriel Orozco and Rirkrit Tiravanija as co-curators of the 2003 Venice Biennale.
For this project, following a continuous string of critiques from artists of exhibition concepts that simply illustrate the curators' personal fixations, a group of artists was invited to reflect upon the conditions of the relationship between artists and curators. More important, the artists were asked to propose a brief concept for how to put together an exhibition such as Documenta that would, from their particular point of view, represent an adequate form of exhibiting and presenting art within the model of a large-scale group exhibition as a challenging contemporary practice.
