Koyo Kouoh (1967–2025)

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Koyo Kouoh, who died unexpectedly on the night of May 9-10. Only last December, she had been appointed curator of the 61st Venice Art Biennale, which she would have been the first black woman to head next year.

In the documenta archiv

19.10.2017

The documenta archiv launches a new series that takes place in the archive itself.

Four times a year small exhibitions will be held on various themes. Photographs, archival material and posters are used to tell different aspects of the history of the documenta exhibitions from 1955 to the present day.
