Manifest a 8 takes place in the Region of Murcia (Spain), in dialogue with northern Africa. Exhibition venues will be located in Murcia and Cartagena.
Opening dates
from 09-10-2010 until 09-01-2011.
Manifesta 8 taking place in the Spanish cities of Murcia and Cartagena in 2010, will be curated by Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum, Chamber of Public Secrets and Tranzit.org as the three collectives, who will together form the curatorial team of the next edition.
In keeping with Manifest a's aim to experiment with innovative curatorial models and methodologies, no individual art professionals were considered for the position of curator of Manifest a 8. Instead, curatorial groups, artistic and interdisciplinary collectives and/or existing institutions were invited by the Board and the Director of the International Foundation Manifest a to propose a new working model for Manifest a 8. In doing so, the Board wishes to initiate a transcontinental collaborative strategy, connecting regions and institutions located around the Mediterranean.
Manifesta 8 will explore the idea of Europe in the 21st century, focussing on the boundaries of the continent, and thus strengthening its international and intercontinental character. More specifically, the aim of Manifest a 8 will be to engage with Europe's present-day frontiers and its interrelation with the Maghreb region.
As with each edition, the newly appointed curatorial team will develop Manifest a 8 in close collaboration with the permanent team of the Amsterdam based home offices of Manifest a together with local producers in Murcia and Cartagena.
Inherent to Manifest a's nomadic character is the desire to explore the psychological and geographical territory of Europe, referring both to border-lines and the notion of nationality. This process aims to establish closer dialogue between particular cultural and artistic situations and the broader, international fields of contemporary art, theory and politics in a changing society.
