This team was assembled by the ruangrupa collective who served as the artistic direction of that edition of documenta. In the years leading up to the exhibition, they travelled extensively around the world, inviting actors of the art world to become part of an ecosystem based on the so called \u2018lumbung\u2019 methodology. The Indonesian ruangrupa is an art collective whose practice is grounded in the concept of \u2018lumbung\u2019, a model defined by resource sharing and community. With the involvement of other organisations, they have been attempting to expand this operating model into an interlocal lumbung network that can ensure the sustainability of various local and international collaborations and organisations beyond documenta 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/en\/2022\/'  class='avia-button av-13lkok-134186db962a105de7e8851910eec221 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Details<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div class='flex_column av-9wnjgk-917a42f45870afa78a49c426c217b56c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top '   ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mkmhc430-5ed794b10fbcd6749b463f065c91882b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mkmhc430-5ed794b10fbcd6749b463f065c91882b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mkmhc430-5ed794b10fbcd6749b463f065c91882b av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-16  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1707 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1707 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/OFF-biennales-pic-04.jpg\" alt='' title='OFF-biennales-pic-04'  height=\"586\" width=\"762\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/OFF-biennales-pic-04.jpg 762w, https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/OFF-biennales-pic-04-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

The point of departure was the Gaudiopolis Children\u2019s Republic (1945\u20131950) founded by Lutheran pastor G\u00e1bor Sztehlo in Budapest after the Second World War. The young residents of Gaudiopolis, \u201cthe city of joy,\u201d established their own government, elected representatives from their own circles, and made laws that pertained to all. As a materialized utopia, it functioned in the spirit of hope, trust, sympathy, generosity, responsibility, perseverance, courage, and care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/en\/2017\/'  class='avia-button av-49u0is-01c8d8d3e3033c450127ddcddb0b6157 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Details<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div class='flex_column av-2ihhr8-4e2ba3e0f40d20773beb4b4d62114169 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle '   ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mkcx2gwc-eedec0d8e09f1f4bea7c6668dfadbba9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mkcx2gwc-eedec0d8e09f1f4bea7c6668dfadbba9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mkcx2gwc-eedec0d8e09f1f4bea7c6668dfadbba9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-30  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1701 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1701 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/OFF-biennales-pic-02.jpg\" alt='' title='OFF-biennales-pic-02'  height=\"583\" width=\"762\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/OFF-biennales-pic-02.jpg 762w, https:\/\/offbiennale.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/OFF-biennales-pic-02-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
