Marco Enrico Giacomelli's New Book Rethinks Art Through documenta 15

In 'Ma dove sono le opere d'arte?' (Castelvecchi, 2023), Marco Enrico Giacomelli employs a glossary of 21 terms to delve into inquiries raised during documenta 15, which was curated by ruangrupa in Kassel from June to September 2022. This work is part of the Fuoriuscita series, overseen by Christian Caliandro, and features a nomadic format influenced by Deleuze and Guattari. Each term, ranging from A (Arte) to Z (Zoe), interacts with various artists and works from documenta 15, such as Dan Perjovschi and Taring Padi. Giacomelli addresses issues like ecology, feminisms, and neoliberalism, critiquing 'political art' and probing the revolutionary capacity of artists within institutional frameworks, while also investigating sabotage tactics and 'shadow feminisms' to challenge neoliberal thought.
