Here we are at the culmination of this week’s build-up – drum-roll please! There is no place in the book I am communicating to you from – Kunstforum International Bd. 248/249 on documenta 14 – for the works that I have been alluding to located in the basement of the Neue Galerie in Kassel.

Tomorrow will be the big reveal and you will finally understand where all of this week’s posts have been building towards. But for today, a hint of things to come; a staged pretext, as it were.
