EXHIBITION POLITICS KARTONIERT (TB)

East German art critic Lothar Lang described the 1959 documenta as a "monster show"-a judgement
that reflects the cultural-political tensions between the two German states. What image did
artists and cultural functionaries in East Berlin  Dresden or Rostock have of the documenta 
and  conversely  how did the curatorial teams view the GDR? In her study Exhibition Politics.
The documenta and the GDR  Alexia Pooth reconstructs this special chapter in the history of the
Kassel-based exhibition. The author traces a history of reception and perception in which 
despite political animosity  there was always communication. The content ranges from the
founding of the documenta in 1955 to Catherine David's documenta 10 in 1997.  In addition to
historical analyses  this book contains a diverse compilation of documents  profiles of artists
and image series. First-hand accounts from the likes of Eduard Beaucamp  Gudrun Brüne-Heisig 
Gabi Dolff-Bonekämper  Hans Eichel  Achim Freyer  Klaus Honnef  Gabriela Ivan  Jürgen
Schweinebraden  and Volker Stelzmann make for a highly entertaining read.
