The documenta featured prominent artist through the years including artists with significant influence on modern art including Robert Rauschenberg in the 1st year, and a shift to contemporary art over time. In 2017, the documenta 14 is institutionally inscribed acknowledging the crisis of the modern utopia of ‘public space’ within the framework of the European Union. documenta 14 unfolds into a Parliament of Bodies, a performative structure that challenges not only the traditional exhibition/- public program divide, but also the opposition between Kassel and Athens, North and South epistemologies, normative thinking and subjugated knowledges and practices as well as gender, sex, race, and class hierarchies. >>Sculpture Projects Münster Sculpture Projects Münster is a sculpture exhibition in public spaces in the town of Munster, Germany. The exhibition feature world class sculptors’ masterpieces for free in different places all over the town every ten years since 1977. Its origin is lined with the idea of creating a public not just with but also for art. Fully conscious of the difficulties of defining ‘public’ in connection with the term ‘art in the public realm’, the exhibition this year are focus on that art in the urban realm is capable of activating historical, architectural, social, political and aesthetic contexts. The generous rhythm of the show’s realization distinguishes the exhibition from other events.
