Art is to have such a large lake that once smaller and larger waves sometimes suggests. What's happening in Kassel, is the prelude to a new season of art cognoscenti from June to September. An international audience has signed up to Documenta, is correspondingly much been going on 6 June, the first day with the audience. By the way, is a grouping of Occupy on the site near the town hall had gathered to protest against abuses in the capital markets. But it was raining. The sky was gray and remained covered, as in the early morning hours of the transit of Venus, the last in this century, between earth and sun without sensation.

Nevertheless, a change from previous years can be felt, not so much performance art and performances take place, but bare-terminal atmosphere creeps up. What if someone is set to hold. Was not there actually an airport project outside of Kassel ... Facilities that want to say is I'm feeling the pure air condition.

Air turbulence blowing directly at the visitor when the open occurs through the double doors. "This is a work of art" is the succinct answer. Where is the air jet is initially hidden. A white wall, behind which is a kind of box is good reason for fan. Air circulation is always an important part in airports and airplanes are turbine-powered. This is some noise associated. The art is an excellent source of noise in order to trigger associations. The most suitable type of disturbing noise. Here is the current program documenta 13 to 100 days

Functional presents itself, sophisticated machinery by Thomas Bayrle are rotated and positioned. Have idiosyncratic dynamics. Would have to be black frame on the floor on which, please do not transgress, the risk of injury is given. The Total and Absolute prevails, because the machine is just violence.

As when a traveler goes through the airport terminal, so that looks into an internal gear. However, open and friendly to the large exhibition hall near the present Fredericianum.

The picture plane is contracted by a known pattern of Thomas Bayrle of many small planes to give a big picture. A marathon performance meticulous character work, as it seems.

Large high-edged canvases come from elsewhere on the Documentation, bringing the painting back a piece of land reclaimed. Covers prevent the showcases the insight. Only when the textile is lifted, blob-like abstract color studies are visible. Everything seen, everything had been, one might think.

Documentation dressed. As has always been this Documentation is divided by a mix of modern art with regard to works of classical art, so that find next to a semi-dark Salvador Dali certainly electronically controlled video installation space, the projectors are projected on the wall. How ever, the real catchment projector technology has found on the Documentation. This is both convenient and on the other effectively.

The mixing of modern art exhibits in addition to classical equivalent concepts as developed by the Swiss Remy Zaugg years ago. The peculiar juxtaposition of an architectural expect, what is color coordinated with Zaugg. This museum is the interior design.

Utopian architectural studies after the tsunami in Japan who oppose the dangers of the sea. New concepts demonstrate how future settlement is situated. This study developed architects and designers who were in person and have been following the disaster after the disaster in Japan. I-City is structured from the voice-over and takes nature as a basis to contribute to a system of urban development. Road networks, clusters of human settlements and the mountains are in the context of the structure.

Bridges where bustling markets are located, the rows of houses on a hillside near the mountains and not directly on the coast, to avoid the tsunami hazard. A process of awareness, only then lecture will be offered.



So even in this Documenta references are processed from the architecture, if a parallel running video sequence presents endless staircase adds tonal worlds that might be of the Escher-inspired poster with the staircase to infinity. Gentle bass tones which the music accompanying an English completes the scene. This acts as a kaleidoscope for the senses - not new but effective, if dilapidated houses again for the purpose of visualization may rise again. The film is without beginning and without end film, like the image of Escher staircase. Only the result in the video is another contribution, namely the presentation of physical structures, which would be created for the reference architecture. People appear only rarely or casually, at least in this sequence of the contribution.

About the expression and the tsunami project told me architect Michiko Okano, see the photo on the left side.

This insight is sad, because removing architectural worlds of people, materials are determined. Man is the target and should remain content of any artistic statement.

Plastic timber made of metal busts shelves, from top to look down with distorted mouths. But the interior is impressive. An art that has something for yourself and taste is. The heads are not bad and retain expression. You do not lose even when they are viewed from different perspectives. In addition, historical periodicals and books on the shelves are mostly below the bust. A smorgasbord of art backed by science reading and looking up to the leaves.
