Since 1 April 2018, the interim management of documenta and Museum Fridericianum gGmbH is under the responsibility of Wolfgang Orthmayr. “We are very happy that it was possible for us to attract Wolfgang Orthmayr for this position” says Christian Geselle, chairman of the board of documenta and Museum Fridericianum gGmbH.
Orthmayr (58) originally from Hamburg has worked as Commercial Director at Stage Entertainment GmbH until December 2017. Before he worked as managing partner of M.A.D. Kommunikationsgesellschaft mbH and in the music industry, for Sony Music Entertainment and WOM World of Music.
Without this interim solution the management position would have been vacant at times. The city of Kassel and the state Hesse are eager to fill the managing position long-term with a person of relevant experience and competence in the cultural management.
