For @documenta14 the Argentinian artist Marta Minujín has reconstructed the Parthenon temple in Athens in its original size as a monument to censorship. The Parthenon in Kassel is made of steel and plastic sheeting and dressed up with donated books that were once forbidden somewhere in the world, the list has grown to more than 120,000 titles. Even Harry Potter is amongst them. People are given the chance to still donate forbidden books that will continuously be added to the Minujin’s Parthenon.

The original Parthenon was built in Athens between 447 and 442 BC. It is 10 meters high, 70 meters long and 30 meters wide. The temple was conceived to house a colossal gold statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

Taking place every five years in Kassel, Germany, documenta is the world’s leading showcase of contemporary art. It was founded in 1955 ‘in an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art after the cultural darkness of Nazi rule’. documentas allow the invited artists several years to conceive and produce projects specifically for the exhibit in Kassel. These art pieces are on display in several indoor and outdoor locations centered around the Fridericianum, one of the oldest public museums in Europe.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition. Therefore it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days". The number of artists has fluctuated between 100+ and 600+ artists, showing between 450 and 2700 individual pieces of art. documenta14 in 2017 is directed by Polish curator Adam Szymczyk. His selection of artists ‘is reclaiming the articulate and persuasive political voice for and of art in an unstable world’. documenta14 is expected to draw a record one million visitors.
