Indonesian curators of documenta top art scene list despite anti-Semitism row

British publication 'ArtReview' praised Indonesia collective ruangrupa's 'open-source approach to artmaking,' which had broken 'with old models by creating a sprawling exhibition (at Germany's documenta) that highlighted collective rather than individual practise.' Photo: Ruangrupa

The British art magazine ArtReview has crowned the curators of this year's documenta fifteen art exhibition in Germany "the most influential people in art" in its annual Power 100 ranking, despite a scandal over alleged anti-Semitism surrounding the show.

The Indonesian curatorial collective ruangrupa tops the list ahead of the artistic director of this year's Venice Biennale, Cecilia Alemani.
