From April 26 to October 6, the Neues Museum Nürnberg is showing the exhibition "Memory Movers" in cooperation with the Institut für Moderne Kunst Nürnberg: The artist duo Böhler & Orendt address the topic of preserving memory in archives in an immersive multimedia environment. The documenta archiv is one of 50 archives participating with loans from its own holdings.

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.

Since March 19, 1999, the city of Kassel has been officially named "documenta City". To mark the occasion, free guided tours of the outdoor documenta artworks in Kassel's urban space are offered.

 

From 30 November to 2 December 2023, the conference "IN | OUT — Canonization Processes of Modern Art and the First documenta" took place at the Fridericianum. The complete video recording of the opening event is now online!

Trailer: "documenta 1955 – der Film, der nie gedreht wurde" (2016) by Visus-Film

"In 1955, Kassel art professor and designer Arnold Bode realizes his great dream: an overview exhibition on the development of European art in the 20th century.
The setting is the provisionally repaired World War II ruins of the Museum Fridericianum on Friedrichsplatz." (Excerpt from the film commentary by Dr. Harald Kimpel)

 

Until today, no film recordings of this exhibition exist. Visus-Vision UG created the present film documentation on the basis of historical film recordings of the documenta archives and the German Documentation Center for Art History - Bildarchiv Foto Marburg. The realization of the individual film scenes took place with the innovative self-developed software VISUS.

 

The film has a running time of 108 min. and can be purchased from the documenta archiv: Further information
