Road to dOCUMENTA(13)

Last weekend I was faced with a bit of a predicament: Would I stay in Berlin and visit all the different art fairs, exhibitions and events of the Berlin Art Week, or would I go to see the final weekend of the dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel. It was clearly a weekend destined to be in the name of art, but it turned out to be delightful for other reasons than art. Together with Claudio and two friends I drove South for 5 hours in a small car to arrive in a medium sized German city that I had never set foot in before. Even though we had spent most our time browsing through all the different exhibition venues of the dOCUMENTA(13) it was the beautiful sunny weather, the delicious ice cream, the beautiful park Karlsaue and the company of good friends that made the time in Kassel so enjoyable for all of us. Of course the exhibitions also had a few highlights (though not as many as I had hoped) that I have photographed for you. Enjoy the art after the jump.
