NM Special Report: documenta 15

One of the world’s most important recurring art exhibitions, documenta takes place every 5 years in Kassel, Germany. As a publicly funded operation, it is both a key showcase for new art and a hotly contested site-of-projection for the public’s social/political anxieties. 

Hamja Ahsan, Halal Fried Chicken, 2022, signage and LED marquis for competing halal fried chicken franchises, displayed across various venues in Kassel, DE for documenta 15.

On this episode, we hear three distinct takes on this year’s show (the ruangrupa-curated documenta 15) from as many voices — artist/critic Paige K. Bradley, designer and Outlier founder @abe1x, and Berlin-based writer/researcher Felix Ansmann — to help us think through what this mass public art exhibition offers in 2022.
