Manifesta
European Touring Biennial |
 |
|
Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, was initiated, and
is supported by the International Foundation Manifesta (IFM). It is an European
contemporary art event, taking place every two years at a different European
location. The first edition was realized in Rotterdam in 1996. Following editions:
1998 Luxembourg, 2000 Ljubljana, 2002 Frankfurt am Main, 2004 San Sebastian.
The concept of Manifesta is re-examined, each time that the biennial moves
on to a new city or region. As an outward expression of this process of renewal,
the Board of the IFM and its new partners appoint a fresh team of curators
from different parts of Europe, at the start of each new biennium.
In 2006, Manifesta 6 was planned for Nicosia, Cyprus under the general Direction
of Yannis Toumazis, but was cancelled due to political reasons.
