Notes towards dOCUMENTA (13) in a state of hope

Goethe Institute, Cairo

Book presentation and lecture by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, with Sarah Rifky


sintesi del comunicato stampa

Book presentation and lecture by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. A notebook is a rehearsal space. It allows the words, the lines, the drawings to be there before being actually there for anybody else than one's self. Thinking is not yet there, writing is not yet there, method is not yet there and, slowly, all of them fall into place. The notebook is a receiver, since it is used to quickly capture our thoughts as well as the thoughts of others, and images, too. As the first public presentation of dOCUMENTA (13)'s 100 Notizen-100 Gedanken / 100 Notes-100 Thoughts series, the Cairo conversation is conceived around the importance of exploring the space before a space. To re-imagine public space requires the reclaiming of critical privacy, first of all, a space where we can prepare ourselves for a comprehension of what a new foundation of the public realm may entail. The notebooks are an attempt to get closer to the point of confluence between artistic and intellectual life, inside and outside one's own world. After the conversation, Sarah Rifky, a curator and Cairo resident, will host a discussion with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev.
