kmmn_practice and the appearance of documenta fifteen
Image: Can Wagener.ruangrupa invited students from Kassel and Jakarta to participate in the development of the visual identity for documenta fifteen. The two winning concepts of the student design competition have now been selected. Team 4oo2 will develop the basic visual identity for documenta fifteen. The Kassel-based team kmmn_practice, will be able to implement its concept of an open-access platform. It aims at public participation with regard to aspects of the visual appearance of documenta fifteen.
Outside of usual working methods and institutional structures, forms of collective collaboration will be experimented with. The submitted concept is based on a participatory platform from which the visual identity develops in collective creative work processes.
The concept focused on actively involving the public in the design dialogue. Thus, in the public shaping of the concept, methods were developed and applied with which interested parties participated in the process, for example by creating a "d" like documenta or a color in a specially programmed color generator. Can Wagener, Charlotte Bouchon, Chiny Udeani, Johannes Choe, Malika Teßmann, Saskia Kaffenberger and Sebastian Hohmann were involved in implementing the concept.
The open group kmmn_practice evolved in January 2020 from the exhibition and event format KMMN, which took place in summer 2017 alongside documenta 14.
