Documenta
''documenta'' is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. The ''documenta'' was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time. It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism. This first ''documenta'' featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent editions of the event feature artists based across the world, but much of the art is site-specific. Every ''documenta'' is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days". ''Documenta'' is not a selling exhibition. Etymology of ''documenta'' The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of ...
