Documenta 12, I was visiting Germany between the 25th of June and the 3rd of July. I took part in the 3rd Oasis of the 1st Expedition with NUROPE, the Nomadic University of Art, Philosophy and Enterprise in Europe. http://www.nurope.eu We visited and discussed the 12th Documenta an exhibition of contemporary art. For a little bit of information about the Documenta 12 visit http://www.documenta12.de.

For me personally it was a crash (course) into the world of contemporary art, having a background in natural science makes the art world for me something new and interesting. Combining this with philosophy as well as theories of business and management makes it all the more exciting, however at times quite hard to grasp.

The reasons for why I’m taking part in Nurope and the different expeditions are quite selfish. I’m working on educating myself in one of the 4 aspects of a sustainable society. These being; Governance, Economy, Ecology, Social/Cultural. As I’ve studied 3 of the four aspects to some extent at university as well as during my work life (Governance, Economy and Ecology) I thought it was about time for me to get to know the 4^th one. I’ll be posting pictures from Germany on my Flickr account in the coming days http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterfagerstrom/ a few can be found there already. If you are a Nomad of Nurope reading this, please contact me and I’ll add you to the group Nurope on Flickr.
