As part of documenta fifteen, ruangrupa in Indonesia is publishing two issues of a magazine, majalah, which refers to the core idea of the exhibition - collective work. The name element lumbung refers to the communal rice barn in which Indonesian farmers store surplus harvests in order to share them. The two editions Harvesting and Sharing will be published together in a single volume to accompany the exhibition. With short stories and reports by leading journalists, researchers and writers from Indonesia, majalah lumbung touches on topics such as cosmology or architecture, food or communal eating, and thus forms a thematic foundation for documenta fifteen. The individual contributions are conveyed through numerous illustrations and an attractive layout with the quality of a magazine.
