Until now, plans for a visit to an art exhibition of worldwide significance have usually gone by the motto: “We go to documenta, the kids go to Grandma’s”. This time around, grandparents, aunts, and other caretakers can come right along to Kassel and visit the exhibition in a relaxed frame of mind, because there will be an educational programme especially for schoolchildren and teenagers.

Spaces for Art
documenta12 knows no programmatic statement, no architectural grid with which venue and art are to be treated. Instead, individual solutions are developed that correspond to the Museum Fridericianum, the Neue Galerie and the documenta-Halle. The Crystal Palace designed by Jean-Philippe Vassal is in itself a singular solution. It answers the call for the temporary need for a generous exhibition space, nestled into the Aue.

What Is to Be Done? Education at documenta 12
Art education occupies a special place at documenta 12 and will be getting an architecture appropriate to it. In contrast to the tendency to understand art education as a service and a marketing instrument, at the next international art exhibition in June 2007 education will appear as art’s advocate and the audience’s counterpart. It will dedicate itself to the task of engaging with the visitors in coming to terms with things that we do not understand.
