Workshop: Oceanías. Ecologías acuáticas y estéticas del cuidado

documenta Institut ist eigenständig
The documenta Institut in Kassel is being repositioned for the future: After a founding phase under the umbrella of documenta und Museum Fridericianum gGmbH, the institute, which is dedicated to the significance and impact of the world's most important exhibition of contemporary art and other exhibition formats, is now taking up its work as an independent research institution with financial support from the state of Hesse. The search for a successor to founding director Prof. Dr. Heinz Bude is underway.
