100 Notes - 100 Thoughts
Presentation of dOCUMENTA (13) Notebook series « 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts » « What kind of writing is a note? What kind of discourse can emerge between chance and disparity? What picture of knowledge constructs a note, what does it say about intelligence? Can this relatively undifferentiated matter—notes—introduce new connections, renew difficulty and possibility for art, for theory? Can a note, the embodiment of „a life« —the life behind the hand that wrote it—invent a form of consciousness that is prior and irreducible to the person, to the subject taking those notes? » With Alejandro Jodorowsky, Chus Martinez & Raimundas Malasauskas Chus Martínez is Head of Department, and Member of Core Agent Group of dOCUMENTA(13), as well as Associate Curator at MACBA (Barcelona). She will introduce the series “100 Notes – 100 Thoughts” commissioned by dOCUMENTA (13)’s Artistic Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and edited by Head of Publications, Bettina Funcke. Then, she and Raimundas Malasauskas (curator, writer and agent for dOCUMENTA (13 ), will present: Tarot Reading by Alejandro Jodorowsky Author of the notebook « The Risk of Deciding », Alejandro Jodorowsky is a Chilean filmmaker, playwright, composer, and writer who lives in Paris. He has dedicated much of his life to exploring what he calls psychomagic, a inatory, therapeutic practice and a kind of artistic research. Art is not art if it is incapable of healing. The power of the word along with an image from the tarot deck can bring out the inidual subject’s unconscious desires, allow them to flourish, and help reach his or her most intimate facets. The cards—the images that they place before our eyes and the words that rest on their surface—help to establish a poetic, performative, and interpretative dialogue between Jodorowsky and the « patient » who consults the deck. The Reading will be held in French. On this occasion, the bookshop section7books will present a sample of the Documenta Notebooks for sale.
