The Continuum Was Performed in the Following Manner – Notes on documenta 14

An in-depth reflection on documenta 14 by one of its curators, Pierre Bal-Blanc. As in a diary, Bal-Blanc tells us about his direct experience, overturning the dominant perspective, and offering a new and personal vision not only of the artistic choices, but also of the political and social dynamics that followed. The book concludes with an extensive and thought-provoking conversation between the artistic director of Documenta, Adam Szymczyk, and Dorota Sajewska. [publishers’ note]
