Getting away with it: Germany’s Documenta art festival – Documenta has basically gotten away with organizing a festival stained with the most virulent antisemitism, and that there are no guarantees that such a scandal can be avoided in the future. | JNS.org
(February 2, 2023 / JNS) Of the many stories involving antisemitism that dominated the headlines last year, probably the most disturbing involved the serial controversies over antisemitic displays at Germany’s prestigious Documenta festival of contemporary art.
The Documenta scandal was certainly not the story that garnered the most attention, particularly among anxious Jews worldwide. In a year when arguably the greatest artist in the history of hip hop outed himself as a vicious antisemite, for good measure taking a Holocaust denying wingman with him to dine at the home of a former American president, that was never going to happen.
