Documenta 13 (stylised as dOCUMENTA (13)) was the thirteenth edition of the German contemporary art exhibition Documenta. It took place between 9 June until 16 September 2012 in Kassel, Germany. The exhibition was held under the theme "collapse and recovery".[1] Exhibits could be seen in several venues in the city, among others in the Fridericianum museum, in the Orangerie and in the Karlsaue, a large urban park.[2][3][4]

Its artistic director was the curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev[5] who was chief curator of the Castello di Rivoli - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea in Turin and, in 2008, also head of the Biennale of Sydney.

The exhibition's welcoming of Occupy Wall Street protesters has been framed as a "watershed" moment in the decline of that movement.[6]
