As part of the panel
Form, Politics, Spectatorship: Documenta 12 as a Case Study
6 March 2009, OCA Public Space, Oslo

Years ago, as a contribution to an exhibition, the artist Alejandra Riera gave me 12 photographs. It was not evident what the relation between these photographs was, or whether there was any relation at all. Showing this 'piece' helped and still helps me to clarify my own position when it comes to ambiguity, formlessness and the inadequacy of knowledge as a category capable of containing aesthetic experience (Roger M. Buergel).
