Or simply magazines. Project connected to the 12nd edition of the Documenta , its artistic director Roger Buergel invited over 90 publications - with different formats and orientations of art, culture, and theory media from around the world - to discuss about the motifs and themes of 2007 edition exhibition. The documenta 12 magazines, conceived and directed by Georg Schöllhammer, editor-in-chief of Austrian magazine Springerin, opens space for artists, art critics and theoriticians to plunge into an exercise of reflection on how major contemporary issues are presented in different socio-cultural contexts. Invited two years before the exhibition (16 June-23 September 2007), the participating publications has generated over 300 articles, essays, interviews, commentaries and illustrated essays, that are gathered in the documenta 12 magazines online journal {Link without Title} , where interested readers can assemble their own individual magazine. From these contributions also came out the three printed editions published by Taschen: "Modernity?"; "Life!" and "Education:", related to the three leitmotifs of documenta 12: Is modernity our antiquity?, What is bare life? and What is to be done (Education)? This communication process continues during the hundred days of exhibition in documenta-Halle. Editors and authors participate in lectures and meetings, and magazines issues are exposed to the public. PARTICIPATING MAGAZINES
