In 2013, Adam Szymczyk was selected to direct the world’s most prestigious contemporary art exhibition, Documenta. His decision to expand the exhibition to Athens, challenging neoliberal politics and institutional norms, marked a pivotal and controversial moment in art history.
In this reflective volume, curator Pierre Bal-Blanc, who worked alongside Szymczyk, offers an in-depth analysis of this bold curatorial experiment. Through personal anecdotes and critical insights, Bal-Blanc explores the exhibition’s political, social, and artistic impact. The book also features an engaging conversation between Szymczyk and Dorota Sajewska.
