We are a group of 16 students (and two professors) from Carleton College in Minnesota, and this summer we are studying in Italy and Germany on something of a contemporary art Grand Tour. Over the next ten weeks, we will be visiting three of the most prominent large-scale contemporary art exhibitions: the Venice Biennale, Documenta, and Skulptur Projekte Münster. In addition, we will be spending several weeks in Cologne, Germany, where we will be visiting many museums and commercial galleries to better understand the art world’s institutions.
