In partnership with CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian and Maumaus / Lumiar Cité, Doclisboa International Film Festival presents a discussion about Dimitris Athiridis’ cinematic opus ‘exergue – on documenta 14’ (2024), following the film screening at Culturgest. For this talk, moderated by the researcher Luísa Santos, we have invited the film’s director and its protagonist, Adam Szymczyk, the Artistic Director of documenta 14.
This engrossing 14 hour film, almost 10 years in the making, intimately follows Adam Szymczyk and his curatorial team as they develop their radical and controversial proposal for the historic 2017 edition of the world’s most prominent art exhibition.
Szymczyk’s ambitious documenta 14 would see the quinquennial exhibition held for the first time in two cities: Kassel, Germany (its historic home, since 1955), and Athens – the centre of Europe’s then financial crisis. In many ways, this film documents the end of a cultural era, the beginning of the next, and the gateway to an uncertain future, through an observational film of remarkable access, acuity and transparency.
This epic documentary presents a reflection on the place, politics and function of contemporary art and its institutions in an inexorably changing global landscape.
Athridis and Szymczyk come together at CAM to discuss both the process of conceiving documenta 14 and of creating the film.
Screening Schedule:
21.10. | 14h15 | Chapters 1 - 4 (249 mins) + 20 min intermission after Chapter 2
22.10. | 14h00 | Chapters 5 - 10 (329 mins) + 15 min intermission after Chapters 6 & 8
23.10. | 10h00 | Chapters 11 - 14 (269 mins) + 30 min intermission after Chapter 12
Adam Szymczyk’s visit to Portugal is part of the Maumaus Residency Programme. In addition to the talk, he is carrying out research into contemporary Portuguese artistic creation, an aspect of the Residency Programme that has already seen the participation of curators and researchers such as Sabine Breitwieser, Roger M. Buergel, Corinne Diserens, Ashish Ghadiali, Mason Leaver-Yap, Nuria Enguita Mayo, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Lucia Pietroiusti, Mats Stjernstedt, and Milan Ther, among others.
Presented by Doclisboa International Film Festival, in partnership with CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, and Maumaus / Lumiar Cité.
