Start of the selection process of the search committee for the Artistic Direction of documenta 16

After documenta is before documenta: While the financial close of documenta fifteen is still being finalized, preparations are underway for the next documenta (June 12 to September 19, 2027): In the spirit of a transparent process that builds on the knowledge gained from valuable experience, the documenta 16 search committee will be made up of former Artistic Directions of documenta exhibitions. For this purpose, Dr. Ferdinand von Saint André invites to a process starting at short notice.

Rudi Fuchs (documenta 7, 1982), Catherine David (documenta X, 1997), Roger M. Buergel (documenta 12, 2007), Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (documenta 13, 2012) and Adam Szymczyk (documenta 14, 2017) are expected to attend a kick-off meeting in Kassel before the end of December 2022.
The goal is to set up the documenta 16 search committee in spring 2023 so that it can name an Artistic Direction for documenta 16 by spring 2024.
