i went to the documenta 12 which could be called the d13 or the nightmerish documenta edition.seems that mrs. ruek and mr. buergel managed to hack kassel. lets be honest they do not like kassel. just look at the rice terrasse at the schloss wilhelmshöhe, it looks like a ecological desaster.yes the circus came to town and put up its tent called pavillion auve, right there in front of the orangerie

the new exhibition in mmk in frankfurt really make some people think, what make artworks, that are very new, to get such an attention curatorial and moneywise? one thing for sure, when you see the works of simon dybbroe moller next to some many great artists and not only next to it but reflecting upon these young old masters like donald judd, walter de maria, jo baer, warhol's "white disaster II"
