Three of the six members are based in Germany, whereas previously there were none.

The show will continue to maintain its supervisory board, giving greater power to local and state politicians.

A succession of controversies has exposed fissures in the country's deeply entwined arts and political spheres.

The exhibition's board members are "holding talks with the invited artists, curators and advisors in an endeavor to find target-oriented solutions."

Artist Bracha L. Ettinger had departed amid "dark times" for Israel, and poet Ranjit Hoskote spoke of a "toxic atmosphere."

Documenta had labeled him "anti-Semitic" for signing a BDS India letter from 2019.

She said her decision was not connected to scrutiny over another member who had signed a letter that Documenta called "anti-Semitic."

It was the second time in roughly the past month that the exhibition spoke out against a person affiliated with it.

The show's managing director said that liking posts about a Berlin protest was "intolerable and unacceptable."

The curator selected by the show's six-person committee could be announced as early as this year.
