Within the series Archives in Translation, Kumu generates a virtual archive introducing the activities of documenta and the participating artists. The volume of documenta discourse forces us to make choices. Virtual documenta in Kumu is based on the overviews of the exhibitions, on printed material, video and audio recordings, and interviews dealing with the issues of modern art. Our archive would be the starting point for events introducing avant-garde art, and the exhibition pays particular attention to documenta 5, which has become a legend that influences contemporary art to this day.
