Is the renowned German art exhibition documenta in Kassel censoring (other) art?
“Amidst fervent interest and speculation regarding the artist list of the upcoming 13th edition of the exhibtion, which has the art world looking for any clues possible to upset the traditionally secret document, documenta artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and the catholic church have exchanged blows over a sculpture installed on the spire of Kassel’s St. Elizabeth’s Church. The work, Stephan Balkenhol’s “Man in the Tower” (2012), is a rough-hewn wooden rendering of a male figure dressed in a white shirt and grey trousers, with arms outstretched as if on a crucifix.” > text (c) ARTINFO, 2012
