This year, we are once again welcoming two Goethe Fellows to the documenta archiv. Nadia Martin (Buenos Aires) and Anna Petrova (Odessa/Berlin) will be joining the team for the coming months.

US video artist Bill Viola has died at the age of 73. Bill Viola was represented four times at the documenta in Kassel: Most recently with his work “The Raft”, which was shown as a collection piece from the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in the rotunda of the Fridericianum as part of documenta 14 (2017). 

Together with ARTvanced and KAZimKUBA we invite you to the vernissage of the exhibition "IN MEMORIAM Monika Nikolic. Photography on Architecture and documenta."

4 - 21 July 2024 at the Kassel Architecture Centre in the Kulturbahnhof

The documenta archiv to receive an important donation: The internationally unique performance art archive "Die Schwarze Lade / the Black Kit: Archive for Performance, Action and Intermedia Art" to be presented by documenta artist Boris Nieslony

The American artist Frank Stella died on May 4 at the age of 87. The pioneer of minimalism was represented twice at the Kassel documenta with his large-format shaped canvases and reliefs.

A new highlight in the documenta archiv: in mid-April, curator Clémentine Deliss presented us with the complete collection of all issues of her traveling publication METRONOME (1996-2021).

On February 21, 2024, we presented the volume "Exhibition Politics" as a new publication in the publication series. The video recording of the evening event with a keynote speech by Alexia Pooth and a subsequent discussion with the art critic Eduard Beaucamp is now online.
