[http://newartnetwork.net/documenta/ documenta 13] - A light but relentless breeze, due to British artist Ryan Gander, blows through the Fridericianum in Kassel, one of the world's oldest museums. Three small sculptures by Julio Gonzáles, first shown in the second Documenta show in 1959, stay at home the draught. It's the wind of history, an air of uncertainty and impermanence. We have been blown about.

[http://newartnetwork.net/documenta/ newartnetwork.net/documenta] - Kassel's history and Germany's are unavoidable at Documenta 13, which opened on Saturday. The show fills town, in the stop to Karlsaue park, from Kassel's museums to the theatres and cinemas, from houses to hotel ballrooms. Documenta happens every five years, lasts 100 days, and features 200 artists. You may be lured to travel further: to Kabul, where an Afghan outpost with the exhibition continues; or Alexandria, Cairo and Banff, where more related events are taking place.

[http://newartnetwork.net/documenta/ documenta 13] - Tacita Dean has brought the mountains of Afghanistan to Kassel, filling a former banking hall with enormous, beautiful blackboard drawings. Some are near-empty, just turbid blackness; other medication is filled with moiling rapids and rushing rivers. There are sunlit mountaintops, dusty avalanches, chalky wipe-outs. The six panels are a sort of storyboard, an evocation of an elsewhere. Dean's drawings are, I do believe, high time: geological time, the flash of the life, a passing thought.
"I'll just keep on till I recieve it right," sings Tammy Wynette, in a snatch of song by Ceal Floyer. Repeatedly Wynette sings the words. In a nearby room hang still lifes by Giorgio Morandi, among some of the vessels and objects he painted and repainted, every year, in his dusty room in Bologna. Morandi was always doing the same, but always which makes it new. Documenta is full of such interruptions: new and ancient things, the living and the dead, mysteries and miseries.
