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 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.
