documenta is regarded as the most important exhibition of contemporary art, drawing attention from all over the world. It was initiated in 1955 by the artist and art educator, Arnold Bode, in Kassel. After the period of Nazi dictatorship, it was supposed to reconcile German public life with international modernity and also confront it with its own failed Enlightenment.
Nobody would have thought at that time that the exhibition, often called the Hundred Day Museum would become an unparalleled success. Nevertheless the 12th documenta will be taking place in summer 2007.In 1992, my art class went on a trip to the documenta 9, which was absolutly great! We actually sat on the top of the “signal tower of hope”, “Signalturm der Hoffnung”, by Mo Edoga. The artist built the thing much higher than one can see on this picture, and he encouraged us to climb it. The view from up there was amazing. Maybe not the true intention of the artist, but certainly art that could be experienced, rather than only looked at.
