Fredericum, one of the main buildings for the Documenta 12. It was originally europe's first public museum. Destroyed in the war.
DOCUMENTA 14
The installation will be presented in Kassel as a replica of the temple on the Acropolis in Athens. Composed of as many as 100,000 banned books from all over the world, the work is erected on Friedrichsplatz in Kassel, where some two thousand books were burned during the so-called “Aktion wider den undeutschen Geist” (Campaign against the Un-German Spirit). In 1941, the Fridericianum—which was still being used as a library at the time—was engulfed in flames during an Allied bombing attack, and another collection of some 350,000 books was lost.
Minujín’s The Parthenon of Books traces its origins to an installation titled El Partenón de libros, which was realized in 1983, shortly after the collapse of the civilian-military dictatorship in Argentina, and presented the very books that had been banned by the ruling junta.

This 80 foot steel and fiberglass sculpture was first shown at Documenta IX, in Kassel, Germany, 1992. But, the idea for this sculpture, no doubt reaches back into my childhood. When I was six years old, I used to sit on my father's knee, and he would tell me stories about a friendly giant who lived in the sky. The important thing about this giant was that he did good things for people. In his stories, my father and I used to go up to the sky and visit with this friendly giant every day. (Jonathan Borofsky)

"Jetzt, nach der Hälfte der Documenta, wird man wohl bilanzierend feststellen dürfen, dass sich die Sinnstiftung des Lumbung-Prinzips, so sympathisch es auch erscheinen mag, auf einen romantizistischen Kollektivgedanken beschränkt, der den weltpolitischen Herausforderungen kaum gewachsen scheint. Jenseits des desaströsen Umgangs mit antisemitischen Motiven im Kunstkosmos enttäuscht die Ausstellung in Kassel mit weltfluchtartigem Ausblenden von Krieg und Pandemie. Die großen Themen der Zeit kommen nicht vor." (Harry Nutt, FR, 7.8.2022)
