documenta 14 Summer Intensive—School of Listening is a site of learning that includes listening sessions, sound walks, lectures, performances, screenings, and of course sound and music, housed in an ancient or contemporary ruin. During a ten-day program, guided by the questions “What shifts? What drifts? What remains?,” contributors to documenta 14 share their practices of listening in fields as diverse as architecture, composition, performance, and history. The Summer Intensive—School of Listening includes students from Kunsthochschule Kassel, Universität Kassel, Musikakademie Kassel, and the Athens School of Fine Arts.
