Szeemann (Harald) Papers

Series I. Project files, 1836-2007, bulk 1949-2005 1949-2005

Physical Description: 558.3 Linear Feet (1020 boxes, 149 flatfiles, 6 crates)

Scope and Content Note

This series documents Harald Szeemann's curatorial process from conception to installation. In addition to his own known exhibitions, there are also records from unrealized exhibitions, exhibitions Szeemann co-curated, was consulted on, or to which he contributed writings for the catalog. Projects or exhibitions from which he resigned are also included, such as documenta 7 and documenta 8. There are materials related to other projects such as films, books and other publications, interviews given, seminars, lectures, surveys taken, and awards for which he was a jurist. Near the beginning of the series are Szeemann's illustrated notebooks from high school, papers from college, his dissertation, and documents of his early theatrical career, which Szeemann designates as projects by filing here. Materials in the series include detailed notes, installation sketches, correspondence, building plans, exhibition announcements and checklists, loan agreements, brochures, catalogs, wall texts, research material, and documents related to the production of didactic material, framing, and shipping. Any photographic material housed with the papers of this series have been retained in this series although the majority of photographic materials from the collection were separated out by Szeemann and are located in Series IV. Photographs. Folders, envelopes or other containers found with only photographic material have been transferred to Series IV. Photographs. Groups of records regarding Szeemann's long-term participation on committees or boards have been moved to Series V. Professional activities. Szeemann also kept complete copies of books and periodicals with his project files. These have been moved to the General Collections and can be found by searching the Library Catalog for the "Harald Szeemann Collection." Additional copies of catalogs for his exhibitions have been retained with the archival papers. Szeemann corresponded over a long period of time via exchange of mail art with Johan van Geluwe, director of the (fictional) Museum of Museums. Folders that include mail art are noted when it is not apparent in the title. The majority of exhibition titles are listed by the English translation found in Tobia Bezzola and Roman Kurzmeyer (ed.), Harald Szeemann with by through towards despite, Catalogue of all Exhibitions 1957-2005 (Zürich: Edition Voldemeer; Wien; New York: Springer, 2007), followed by the original title in parentheses and the date of exhibition. This book was written in collaboration with Szeemann, and it is assumed he had input into the correct way to express the titles in English. Projects and exhibition titles not listed in the book were not translated into English. See also this chronology of Szeemann's projects .

Titles for folder contents are direct translations when the folder had a title given by Szeemann. When a label could not be read or translated, it was retained in the archive with the records. If a folder was not titled by Szeemann, the archivist has provided a title that is descriptive of the contents. Records found loose, not in a folder or envelope, between folders or at the front or back of a carton of folders are designated as "loose" in brackets. Szeemann frequently titled folders "Diverse" and "Reliquien." These titles have been translated as "Assorted" and "Souvenirs" respectively. The difference between them is slight, as both contain an assortment of items. "Assorted" files primarily include press clippings or correspondence. It was difficult to interpret what Szeemann meant by reliquien. The contents could be mementos, souvenirs or other ephemera from exhibitions, projects, or entire years. "Souvenirs" can include event tickets, passes and brochures, notes, doodles and sketches and some appointment books. Szeemann also housed some of his appointment books on his bookshelves and these are integrated into the series.

Arrangement

The arrangement reflects Szeemann's original organization of his project files. The series is arranged chronologically by the opening date of an exhibition. The dates of the material may not be the same as the date of a project, and Szeemann frequently worked on projects for years in advance of their opening. This is especially important to note for all of his documenta and Venice Biennale records. Exhibitions that toured are arranged according to the opening date of the first installation. Unrealized exhibitions are placed in the year most prevalent in the records.

Szeemann kept his files in plastic cartons and three-ring binders. The groupings of folders from the cartons have been arranged as closely to chronological as possible. The sections of "Assorted" files have been arranged at the end of each year. "Unfiled" refers to papers not originally grouped with the Project files, but identified as pertaining to exhibitions and other projects by specialists and the archivist. These are at the very end of each project or "Assorted" section.

When Szeemann worked on more than one project simultaneously, the resulting files are interspersed. As a result, files pertaining to the same project may be separated by files on a different project. For example, a group of folders from documenta 8 are housed with a group of folders from Tendency towards the Gesamtkunstwerk. The earlier exhibition files are frequently interspersed with other assorted project files. As the exhibitions began generating more extensive records, sections of "Assorted" become more distinct, and Szeemann grouped them together by year.

General correspondence 1960-1979

Scope and Content Note

These materials, rehoused into folders from the original binders, includes correspondence from alphabetically arranged binders spanning from around the early 1960s to the late 1970s. The topics in these binders encompass many exhibitions during this time span including When Attitudes Become Form, documenta 5, and Happening & Fluxus . The binder containing "A" was not present. It is possible the materials from that binder were refiled by Szeemann during his reorganization of the archive.
