A central motif in this episode is not the nonsense but the meaning of obscure discursive postmodern language. For some people, like the Documenta curator featured in this Episode, it’s a vital and sensual power tool. For other people, it’s a swamp of hope and loneliness.
This episode features Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Director of Documenta 13.
It takes place on Documenta 14 in Athens. Last scene takes place at the Venice Biennale in 2017.

Verdomme, dit kanaal is echt fantastisch. Ik waardeer vooral de (voor mij) frisse blik op een kleine geisoleerde wereld.

My little bro who lives in a trailer park in the woods has a full block set like that except instead of the concrete aesthetic it's got the wood look, like blocks of stacked timber/logs. & he sort of rearranges several of the blocks; makes little forts out of it and stuff. kind of fun. It's waterproof too. You can leave it outside all winter & in the summer spray it clean with the hose. I think my mom picked it up from Wal-Mart. They're cool honestly but I'm surprised Documenta ripped off a kid's toy idea found at a Canadian Wal-mart.

I am reminded of one of your earlier video's, about artists trying to justify themselves to the world, claiming they are doing something useful. What strikes me here is that this woman seems to be trying to justify herself to herself. Her friend at the end, as well. They take your off the cuff statements and run with them, trying to set themselves apart from the rest of society. And I wonder, if they realize they are normal women, with the same hunter-gatherer brains we all have, who are curating a room full of novelty pillows, does the entire dream crumble? As for the books, of course it can't be an open collection. Then it would be a library. And those get considerably less funding.

3:19-3:27 the guy in sunglasses has meme potential

[@robinverslegers9084]

Beste KIRAC, Wij zouden.het appreciëren als in het vervolg de geïnterviewde in zijn volledige ensemble gefilmd wordt. De keuze van schoeisel bij hedendaagse kunstenaars is nu eenmaal een belangrijke sleutel om het werk te kunnen begrijpen.

A WORK THAT TALKS ABOUT THE WORK IS SHATTERED IN SILENCE

[@koenv.i.9188]

Is that guy with the sunglasses a real person? or a hired actor? it really feels like we are living in a simulation sometimes...

[@everydayrice6693]

Although I agree with KIRAC's observations of problematic art shows like the one in the video; I'm more and more confused by what the KIRAC folks see as they're ultimate hope with these episodes.. Are they hoping someone will prove them wrong? or that critiquing alone is enough of a goal? In any case, I really do enjoy seeing new episodes appearing every few weeks.

The "Triumph of Pure Contextualization." I did like the blocks though!

[@josseman]

Dit is echt fantastisch. Ik heb eigenlijk vrij weinig met moderne kunst, aangezien ik veel bezig ben met engineering, waar bijna alle aspecten nut hebben, vind ik de moderne kunst vaak een lege huls met doorzichtige stereotypische patronen die een modern dogmatisch wereldbeeld vertonen. Het is mooi om te zien hoe KIRAC deze doorzichtige simpliciteit afbreekt.

[@KeepingItRealArtCritics]

Wat voor engineering? Studeer je engineering?

[@arminie9400]

We actually have real existing open collections of books in Germany, where people leave and take books as they please. They are called "Offene Bücherschränke" and spread across some cities. They work quite well from personal experience.

[@jd77ist]

What I like about this episode in peculiar is that these ladies just out-KIRAC-ed you with their wittiness.

[@0mnislasher1]

that wasn't wit

[@karelmartel4969]

Uhuh,,,

[@ErikYkema]

What is that reference to "CCB" and certain men at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfYk6KuhtuXj5Ym15s ?

[@WOWTODAZ]

[@s.jasperse629]

Suitcase?

[@TONYSESLCAFE]

Us Artist have to watch the lead poisoning.

[@Drumsgoon]

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

I wonder if they are Germans living in Amsterdam

[@pascal-janssen]

iemand die een zonnebril binne draagt kan ik al niet serieus nemen. tenzij je een operatie aan je ogen hebt gehad ofzo maar dat lijkt me totaal niet bij deze hipster.

[@stevenschuster]

4:13 ! Damn... She a freak like that huh.

[@raoulchailloux4313]

Ik vind jullie, als ik dat woord mag gebruiken , levensgevaarlijk goed . Er kan geld overgemaakt worden heb ik begrepen . Voor de kunst. Kom ik op terug.

[@PlanetDeLaTourette]

Kunst is een zaak voor ingewijden. Net als wetenschap. Dit is meer profileringsdrang van de oppervlakkigheid. Ad hominem en stropoppen; zelden een goed teken.

[@MrJimmoes]

deze guy ziet er uit als 50 jaar oud

[@robthijssenart]

Doe wat aan de voice-over, die is irritant.

[@edibleanus198]
