Organisers cover work by Indonesian collective Taring Padi after criticism from politicians and Jewish group
Organisers at the Documenta contemporary art exhibition in the German city of Kassel have covered up an artwork by a group of Indonesian artists that has been criticised for containing antisemitic imagery.
The artwork, a sprawling banner by the Taring Padi collective previously shown at the South Australian Art Festival in Adelaide last year, includes images of soldiers in riot gear with pigs’ heads, one of them labelled as a member of Mossad, with a Star of David on his balaclava.
