Documenta, battered by scandals, gets hit with yet another allegation of antisemitic imagery in the show:
“This document is important for our project because it traces the history of the struggles of Algerian women in an international context and testifies to the diversity, transnationality and intersectionality of Algerian women’s grassroot political commitments beyond Algeria,” they added.
The work was found to be of “no criminal relevance” and was therefore reinstalled in the exhibition. At the time, Documenta general director Sabine Schormann was helming the organization. by the Indonesian collective Taring Padi, covered with black cloth, on Friedrichsplatz.

“It is good and right that the shareholders of Documenta have now asked the artistic direction to remove these drawings from the exhibition. I can only agree with this,” said Roth. “The way these drawings were handled before Mr. Farenholtz took office shows once again how important and necessary it is to have an external body of experts to analyze and classify the works shown at Documenta in terms of possible anti-Semitic imagery.
. The work, which was collectively made in 2002 and was a reflection on the brutality of the Suharto regime in Indonesia and its collaborators, shows, among its many characters, a man with a pig’s nose and a Star of David and a helmet that reads “Mossad.” There is another man depicted with temple curls, bloodshot eyes, and a hat that has SS Nazi insignia on it.
