Through this paper and while focusing both on the heritage and institutional attitudes of documenta, I attempted to underline the linkage of the institution to modernism and its neoliberal mode of being. I pursued the latter by highlighting the initial nationalistic and supranational format of documenta. Then and while using a comparative methodological attitude towards documenta and Greece’s “historico-political” context, the text addressed the institution’s inability to escape the power structures of its foundation, and thus its imposition to the Greek state. The former analysis was formed while deploying certain key-informations in regards to the diptych power/knowledge by Michel Foucault and philosophy of hospitality developed by Jacques Derrida.
Therefore, the conducted research will take the form of a flexible archival format, as is usually the case within my artistic practice.
