Publishing the unpublishable
As a prelude to the 2012 exhibition, dOCUMENTA (13) and Hatje Cantz are publishing a series of notebooks, 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts, comprised of facsimiles of existing notebooks, commissioned essays, collaborations and conversations.
“A note is a trace, a work, a drawing that all of a sudden becomes part of thinking, and is transformed into an idea. This publication follows that path, presenting the mind in a prologue state, in a pre-public arena. A space for intimacy and not yet of criticism, dOCUMENTA (13) is publishing the unpublishable, the voice–and the reader is our alibai and ally. Note taking encompasses witnessing, drawing, writing, and diagrammatic thinking; it is speculative, manifests a preliminary moment, a passage, and acts as a memory aid.” dOCMENTA (13) media release
