"Overlooked Treasures – Seen Anew" was the theme of this year's internal symposium organized by the Arbeitskreis selbständiger Kultur-Institute e.V. (ASKI).

The documenta archiv receives the important estate of the photographer Monika Nikolic. Nikolic achieved international fame through her architectural photographs and as a chronicler of the documenta. The acquisition was made possible by the active commitment of the Kassel documenta forum, the support of the Kasseler Sparkasse and private donations.

Recently a special gift from director and film producer Brigitte Kramer. She curated the film program in the Bali cinemas for documenta 10 (1997) and accompanied the artistic director of documenta 10, Catherine David, with her camera on her international research trips between Kassel, Paris, Venice and São Paulo.
