Quinn Latimer Boeken

The documenta 14 volumes of South as a State of Mind are edited by Quinn Latimer and Szymczyk, Director of documenta 14, and redesigned by Mevis & Van Deursen, Amsterdam. South will be a place of research, critique, and literature that will parallel the years of work on the documenta 14 exhibition, as well as help frame its concerns. Writing and publishing will be an integral part of documenta 14, and the journal will herald that process.

Quinn Latimers arresting writings find expression in literature and theory as well as contemporary art and its history. Moving from Southern California to Europe, crossing geographies and genres, her texts record specters and realities of culture, migration and displacement, compounding the vagaries of rhetoric and poetics with those of personal history and criticism. Composed in the space between the page and live performance, Latimers recent essays and poems examine issues of genealogy and influence, the poverty and privilege of place, architectures relationship to language, and feminist economies of writing, reading and art making. Shifting between written language and live address, between the needs of the internal and the external voice, Like a Woman is refrain, litany and chorus. Latimer is a California-born poet and critic with writings and readings featured internationally including REDCAT, Los Angeles; Qalandiya International, Ramallah/Jerusalem, and Venice Architecture Biennale. Latimer is editor in chief of publications for dOCUMENTA (14) (2017).

At once poetic and critical, cruel and confessional, internationally known Frenchartist Michel Auder's casually virtuosic videos have for over five decades disruptedtraditional perceptual habits of moviegoers and art audiences alike, subvertingnotions of filmic narrative and process. Employing new video formats as theybecome available, the New York based Auder has produced short and featurefilms, video installations and photography that transgress genres, borrowingfrom art history, literature, commercial television, and experimental cinema, andwas most recently featured at the 2014 Whitney Biennial. The richly illustratedmonograph/artist book includes Twenty Film-Poems for M. Auder, a series ofmini-essays on selected videos by Basel-based American poet and critic QuinnLatimer, and an extensive interview with the artist by Kunsthalle Basel directorAdam Szymczyk, and a catalogue raisonné of Auder's video works. The uniquedesign, including a cut-out cover, creates an exciting visual experience whileviewing the rich contents.

The main catalogue of documenta 14 will take the form of a reader, evoking the various meanings associated with the term. The documenta 14 reader will both reflect the reading subject and the subject who reads or recites to an audience—emphasizing the importance of literature, orality, performance, pedagogy, and radical reception for the documenta 14 project overall—as well as comprise a critical anthology that features international theoretical, historical, and literary writing that explores and expands on the attendant exhibitions in Athens and Kassel. The indigo ribbon that marks the pages of the book was prepared at the MENTIS Center for the Preservation of Traditional Textile Techniques, part of the Benaki Museum, in Athens. Cotton thread was dyed in an indigo vat prepared by documenta 14 artist Aboubakar Fofana, and woven into ribbon using the machines that make up the MENTIS donation in what remains a „living workshop museum“ at 6 Polyfimou Street.
