ARTE E TECNOLOGIA NA dOCUMENTA (13): OBRAS DE ANNA MARIA MAIOLINO E RENATA LUCAS EM KASSEL

Regina Lara Silveira Mello

Abstract


dOCUMENTA (13) is an important contemporary art exhibition, held every five years since 1955 in Kassel, Germany. The 2012 edition presented works by Anna Maria Maiolino and Renata Lucas. ‘Aqui e Ali’ (Here and There), Anna Maria Maiolino's work, is an installation in the former home of the caretaker of the Karlsaue park. It refers to issues such as absence of body and presence of memory. In ‘Ontem, areias movediças’ (Yesterday, shifting sands), Renata Lucas introduces an architectural element in the basement of Friedrichplatz, suggesting a virtual space in Kassel Central Square, redesigning borders, property and order. According to curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, the show offers a reflection on the dialogue between art and science, forms of imagination that explore the dynamics of matter and life, in connection with theory. Deciphering dOCUMENTA (13) demands an interdisciplinary conceptual approach involuing the fields of art, science and technology.
