1994

In 1994 David was appointed artistic director of documenta X in Kassel, staged in the summer of 1997.

She made headlines in the international art world with her original approach to documenta, where she brought her cross-sector discipline to the exhibition, inviting writers, sociologists and architects, as well as artists, to speak over the 100-day exhibition.

For the first time a website was conceived as a part of the exhibition, curate by the artist and Swiss curator Simon Lamunière.
