Art of Documenting Art

In 1993 the American artist Lawrence Weiner realized a work of art in the Tetterode lobby (Amsterdam) and the current studio location of fanfare.
In 2000, the work was painted over, and only a low-res photo remains. Here is our point of departure.

Art of Documenting Art is a series of artistic interventions and conversations curated and designed for the /b/channel series of fanfare, focusing on the interlink between artistic practice and explorative documentation. Through a series of chain reactions, artists and designers are invited to react to previous reactions to the work of Weiner. Through this optic, Art of Documenting Art directs attention to the obstacles, successes, and failures of visual documentation. Three editions of the series have taken place and been documented through a talk show, a podcast, a photographic intervention, and a forensic interview patchwork.
