MANIFESTA 7
Curators:
ADAM BUDAK
ANSELM FRANKE / HILA PELEG
RAQS MEDIA COLLECTIVE
TRENTINO -- ALTO ADIGE / SÜDTIROL ITALY
19 July - 2 November 2008
The International Foundation Manifesta is delighted to announce the
selection of the newly appointed curators of Manifesta 7, the European
Biennial of Contemporary Art: Adam Budak (Krakow/Graz), Anselm Franke
(Antwerp/Berlin) / Hila Peleg (Berlin) and the members of the Raqs Media
Collective (New Delhi). Manifesta 7 will take place in the region of
Trentino --Alto Adige / Südtirol, Italy from 19 July to 2 November
2008. The curators were appointed by the IFM board from a shortlist of
more than 20 candidates.
Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary art, changes locations
every two years. Following the cancellation of Manifesta 6 in Nicosia,
Cyprus in 2006, the next edition, Manifesta 7, will be situated across a
150 kilometres of historical and industrial locations in the region of
Trentino Alto Adige / Südtirol. This region is recognised by
Manifesta for its extraordinary industrial heritage and cultural
infrastructure, which will form the basis for formulating the artistic
strategy of Manifesta 7.
Manifesta 7 will open to the public on July 19, 2008 and will run until 2
November, 2008. The venues are located on one of Europes most important
travel routes between north and south: the fortress of Fortezza that dates
back to the middle of the 19th century, three industrial buildings from
the first decades of the 20th century the Ex-Alumix (Bolzano) and the
Ex-Alpe and Ex-Peterlini (both located in Rovereto) as well as the Post
Office building in Trento, an edifice constructed in the rationalist style
in the 1930. While articulating an overall framework for Manifesta 7, each
of the three curatorial units will concentrate on working in one city and
its venues, with Raqs Media Collective working in Bolzano, Anselm
Franke/Hila Peleg in Trento, and Adam Budak in Rovereto. The fourth venue,
the fortress Fortezza, will be curated by all curators collaboratively.
About the curators:
Adam Budak, who lives in Graz and Krakow, is currently curator for
contemporary art at the Kunsthaus Graz am Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz,
Austria. He studied theatre studies at the Jagiellonian University in
Krakow and history and philosophy of art and architecture at the Central
European University in Prague. He is a guest professor at the Higher
Institute for Fine Arts Flanders in Ghent and at the Theatre Institute
of the Kunstuniversität in Graz. He has recently co-established the
postgraduate studies programme in curatorial practice and theory at the
Art History Institute of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Adam Budak
has curated "Architectures: Metastructures of Humanity, Morphic
Strategies of Exposure", exhibition in the Polish Pavilion of the 9th
Venice Biennale of Architecture (2004). He worked with acclaimed artists
such as John Baldessari, Cerith Wyn Evans and Monika Sosnowska, and has
curated a large number of international exhibitions. Rec
ent projects include "Protections. This Is Not an Exhibition"
(together with Christine Peters) and "Volksgarten. Politics of
Belonging" (cocurated with Katia Schurl and Peter Pakesch).
Anselm Franke is the artistic director of Extra City Center for
Contemporary Art in Antwerp. He has been Director of Exhibitions at KW
Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin until 2006. In Berlin, he
continues to work as co-curator of the Forum Expanded of the International
Film Festival Berlin. He has frequently organised projects in theatres, as
well as in architectural and academic contexts. Writing for various
magazines such as Piktogram, he is currently completing a PhD at the
Visual Cultures/Center for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths College
London. At the moment, he is working on an exhibition titled
"Mimétisme".
For Manifesta 7, Anselm Franke will be collaborating with Hila Peleg, who
is a curator based in Berlin. Born in Tel Aviv, Peleg studied Art History
at Goldsmiths College/University of London, where she is currently a PhD
candidate in Curatorial Knowledge/Visual Cultures. Peleg organised and
co-curated various international projects dealing with artistic practices
and culture from the Middle East. More recently, Peleg has edited a book
on the artist Keren Cytter published by Revolver, and she directed the
film "A Crime Against Art", released by UNP Berlin. Peleg and
Franke have co-organised the exhibition "Imaginary Number" at KW
Berlin (2005) and "Clinic - A Pathology of Gesture" at
HAU Berlin (2006).
The Raqs Media Collective (Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula &
Shuddhabrata Sengupta) has been variously described as artists, media
practitioners, curators, researchers, editors and catalysts of cultural
processes. Their work, which has been exhibited widely in major
international spaces and events, locates them squarely along the
intersections of contemporary art, historical enquiry, philosophical
speculation, research and theory - often taking the form of installations,
online and offline media objects, performances and encounters. They live
and work in Delhi, based at Sarai, Centre for the Study of Developing
Societies, an initiative they co-founded in 2000. They are members of the
editorial collective of the Sarai Reader series.
About the team:
Manifesta 7 is a co-production between the International Foundation
Manifesta, the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano -- South Tyrol and the
Autonomous Province of Trento, who combined forces in a new administrative
entity called Comitato Manifesta 7. Hedwig Fijen, director of the IFM in
Amsterdam is also acting as President of the Comitato Manifesta 7 in Italy
and thus ultimately responsible. In addition, two other board members of
the International Foundation Manifesta are represented in the local
Comitato Manifesta 7: Viktor Misiano and Allard Huizing, attorney in law.
Andreas Hapkemeyer (former Director of Museion, the museum of modern and
contemporary art in Bolzano), and Fabio Cavallucci (Director of Galleria
Civica di Arte Contemporanea in Trento) are appointed as the coordinators
of Manifesta 7 and form the management team.
Manifesta 7 is financially supported by the Autonomous Province of
Bozen/Bolzano -- South Tyrol, the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the
European Commission Culture 2000 Programme.
About Manifesta:
Manifesta and its related activities are an initiative of the
International Foundation Manifesta in Amsterdam. Manifesta is the only
itinerant biennial in the world. Every two years all parameters change,
therefore Manifesta at Home in Amsterdam is the permanent backbone
structure of this nomadic biennial.
International Foundation Manifesta is funded by European Commission
Culture 2000 programme and the Dutch Mondriaan Foundation.
