On m’a parlé trois fois de cette histoire de Documenta cette semaine, alors je colle ce lien de documenta(tion) sur le sujet, puisqu’à la base, c’est pas que je m’en fous de ce qui se passe dans ce genre de raouts artistiques, mais un peu, donc je n’ai ni suivi les ramifications ni trop réfléchi à cette histoire.

Learning and Unlearning with Taring Padi : Reflections on Documenta
Our inability to make any kind of definitive statement about the case does not prevent us from reflecting on what has happened. Indeed, I’d like to argue that it is precisely because there is no possibility of having the “right” response to the scandal that we might be able to start a new dialogue about art, antisemitism, and Israel in the German context. In other words, I’m suggesting that the enforced humility of not having all of the necessary evidence for definitive judgments opens a needed space of potential dialogue and an opportunity to unlearn what we think we know. However tentative, this process of unlearning allows us to glimpse just how entangled histories of racism, colonialism, antisemitism, and genocide are—often in unexpected and contradictory ways.
