documenta 14, Kassel, Germany
10 Jun 2017 - 17 Jun 2017
On June 10, documenta 14 opens its exhibition in Kassel. Extending over the city in more than 30 different public institutions, squares, cinemas, and university locations over 160 international artists show works newly conceived for documenta 14.
Artistic director Adam Szymczyk is proposing that visitors follow a parcours of documenta 14 in Kassel. This parcours begins at the Former Underground Train Station (KulturBahnhof) and extends through the Nordstadt district across Friedrichsplatz and in a southerly direction to the Torwache, the unfinished city gate. The parcours route, as well as information about the exhibition venues, can be found on the website of documenta 14.
The main exhibition venues are open from 10 am to 8 pm. Tickets are available online via documenta 14 and from June 10 at the documenta 14 shops on Friedrichsplatz, documenta Halle, Neue Galerie, and Neue Neue Galerie. Please note the ticket information on the website of documenta 14.
We are pleased to share the inauguration week’s program with you, and we warmly invite you to attend. Please note that some events have limited capacity.
Information material about documenta 14 and the daily program of events can be found in the Press and Information Center at Friedrichsplatz 4 in 34117 Kassel and at Mourouzi Street 16 in 10674 Athens as well as in the documenta 14 newspaper Public Paper that is available free of charge at all exhibition venues.
