Publication related to an exhibition project (at Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel; Halle für Kunst, Lüneberg; and tranzit, Prague, 2005) exploring the ‘documentary turn’ in contemporary art (primarily since 2000) and the link such practices may have to the re-politicization of art and artists’ critical engagement with history and memorialization. See in particular Hito Steyerl, Politics of Truth—Documentarism in the Art Field.
