Ruangrupa Book order

As part of documenta fifteen, ruangrupa in Indonesia is publishing two issues of a magazine, 'majalah' that hones in on the core idea of the exhibition: collective working. The 'lumbung' component in the title refers to the communal rice barn where Indonesian farmers store surplus crops to share. The two issues, Harvesting and Sharing, will be published together in one volume to accompany the exhibition. With short stories and features by leading journalists, researchers, and writers from Indonesia, 'majalah lumbung' touches on topics such as cosmology or architecture, food or eating together, thereby forming a foundation for the content featured at documenta fifteen. The individual contributions are conveyed through numerous illustrations and an attractive layout in magazine quality.

A primer on Documenta 15's theme of "lumbung," with profiles of the exhibiting artists and collectives Documenta 15 is no ordinary art exhibition. Working with the guiding concept of "lumbung," the Indonesian collective ruangrupa--the exhibition's curators--are less concerned with individual works than with models of collaborative practice. This guide offers insights into and orientation for the processes that evolved in the creation of the exhibition. A comprehensive resource both for visitors of Documenta in Kassel and anyone interested in collective practices, this guide presents all the collectives and artists featured in Documenta 15 through in-depth profiles by international authors. Taking the question "what is lumbung?" as an organizing principle, the book offers an introduction to the concept and cultural background of Documenta 15, with documents and photographs tracing the collectives' working processes. A chapter surveying the show's locations in Kassel, as well as a large fold-out map and an introduction to the exhibition's public program, are also included.
