Documenta: The magazine of magazines
Thursday, July 19, 2007 at 01:46PM 
To go back a bit, a year and a half prior to the opening of this year's Documenta, the organizers asked 90 different arts and culture publications from around the world to consider and respond to the three themes of the show. The result was "over 300 articles, essays, interviews, commentaries, and illustrated essays" which were then collected as three separate magazines and published earlier this year by Taschen. But perhaps even more interesting is the ongoing Documenta Magazines Online Journal:
The online journal of documenta 12 magazines is a magazine of magazines. It compiles the articles that have been published on the leitmotifs of documenta 12 in the more than 100 media around the world that are involved in the project—in the original language and in English. You can assemble your own personal documenta magazine out of these articles, print it and publish it. Or simply browse through the online magazines that our partner magazines have put together for you.
