A note on: exergue – on documenta 14 (2024)


Having waded into EXERGUE- ON DOCUMENTA 14 the 14-part, 14-hour observational look at the creation of the 2017 edition of documenta, the art exhibition held every five years in Kassel that is playing at this year's New York Film Festival, I wanted to say something in case you are interested:

I saw two parts and part of a third before I stepped away. It's not that it is bad, rather this really is everything you want to know but were afraid to ask and then some more - a lot more. I got to a certain point and found that I was overwhelmed. This was more than I was capable of taking in. I should have done it in pieces. 

I'll have to go back to it after the festival. 

Because this is a lot to take in, I wanted to say that if you are interested in wading into this film at the festival be sure that you want to immerse yourself in the creation of the exhibition.
