Documenta 14 - Learning From Athens, was the 14th edition of Documenta, a quinquennial contemporary art exhibition held in Kassel, Germany. Taking place from June 10 to September 17, 2017, it was the first Documenta to be held in two cities, with the main exhibition in Kassel and a parallel exhibition in Athens, Greece. Curated by Adam Szymczyk, Documenta 14 explored the complex relationship between art and politics, particularly in the context of the ongoing economic and political crises in Greece. The exhibition featured works by over 200 artists from around the world, many of whom engaged with issues of displacement, migration, and the role of art in times of crisis. Documenta 14 was a highly controversial exhibition, with some critics praising its ambitious scope and its commitment to social and political issues, while others criticized its lack of focus and its inaccessibility to the general public.
