Karl Oskar Blase, the “face of documenta”, would have turned one hundred years old on March 24, 2025. The Kassel-based graphic designer and professor of art and visual communication had been working for documenta since 1964 and had a unique influence on its appearance. To celebrate his milestone birthday, the documenta archiv is dedicating a multimedia studio exhibition to him in its Reading Room.

documenta 14 will take place in Athens from April 8 to July 16, 2017. On this occasion, the Goethe Institut will invites the public of Athens to take a look at documenta with its history of over 60 years. Rather than displaying a simple chronology, a space for tension will emerge in which the non-visible can be reflected and reverberate. The documenta exhibitions 1 to 13 can be experienced in pictures, films, sound, and words — also by children and young people. Events in the form of lectures, film screenings, guided tours, and concerts are planned at regular intervals. The documenta archiv is supporting this project with catalogs as well as image and video material.
