dOCUMENTA (13) has being drafted by artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev with a number of agents, advisors, and artists.
Agents Leeza Ahmady, Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri, Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, Sunjung Kim, Koyo Kouoh, Joasia Krysa, Marta Kuzma, Raimundas Malašauskas, Chus Martínez (Head of Department), Lívia Páldi, Hetti Perkins, Eva Scharrer, Kitty Scott, and Andrea Viliani contributed in various ways, and have different degrees of engagement. “In small systems,” states Christov-Bakargiev, “an agent acts by proxy, and chooses among a number of alternatives, so that agency is delegated, thus implying an element of uncertainty through which the system works. An agent, in biology, precipitates a reaction, and in fiction, an agent suggests someone who is hidden or undercover, never fully revealing identity. Agere, in Latin, is to act.”
Honorary Advisory Committee made up of Mario Bellatin, Iwona Blazwick, Ali Brivanlou, Donna Haraway, Salah Hassan, Pierre Huyghe, Michael Petzet, Alexander Tarakhovsky, Michael Taussig, Jane Taylor and Anton Zeilinger brings together a number of intellectuals and practitioners from various fields, including art, anthropology, biology, quantum physics, philosophy, literature, and archeology. Their specific knowledge and points of view provided a wider context on culture in the world and informed the processes of thinking and acting of dOCUMENTA (13), within which artistic practices and contemporary art, emerge.
