For the first time, the remit of documenta’s Finding Commission has been extended by the Supervisory Board to include the function of a documenta Advisory Board. As the documenta commission, the Advisory Board not only appoints the respective Artistic Direction (as was the case with ruangrupa in February 2019), but also accompanies the continuing project process. The Advisory Board thus provides expert advice to the Supervisory and Management Boards at documenta gGmbH, acts as an ambassador of the documenta exhibition towards the public and finally is responsible for making proposals for the subsequent Finding Commission.
