Manifesta 10
Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, is one of the most influential Contemporary Art Biennials. As the only roving biennial Manifesta changes its location every two years aiming to investigate and reflect on current developments in contemporary art. Previous editions of the Manifesta Biennial have taken place in Rotterdam (Manifesta 1, 1996), Luxembourg (Manifesta 2, 1998), Ljubljana (Manifesta 3, 2000), Frankfurt (Manifesta 4, 2002), San Sebastian (Manifesta 5, 2004), Nicosia (Manifesta 6, 2006 cancelled) Trentino – South Tyrol (Manifesta 7, 2008), Murcia (Manifesta 8, 2010) and Genk, Belgium (Manifesta 9, 2012). In 2014 Manifesta goes back to its origins as a cultural bridge between the West and the East. By choosing St. Petersburg and the State Hermitage Museum as main collaborators for Manifesta 10, the Biennial ventures beyond Europe’s borders for the first time. Manifesta is interested in exploring the potential of European dialogue and aspires to provide a moving platform for experimentation to artists and professionals who might otherwise have limited access to the dominant centres of contemporary art. At the same time, Manifesta wishes to raise historical consciousness in the region where it is hosted and to encourage awareness on the role of contemporary art in today’s society. In its previous editions, Manifesta has involved prominent artists, curators, young professionals and trainees from as many as 40 different countries allowing them to take part in a unique project, to collaborate with internationally renowned professionals and to gain precious knowledge and experience in the domains of curatorship, art practice as well as cultural management. Manifesta strongly invests in capacity building and professionalization of the cultural operators in the area where it takes place and every two years transfers its knowledge and network to a new local team through dedicated workshops and seminars. Furthermore, Manifesta proudly invests in its Education
Programme, which contributes significantly to the overall success, image and understanding of every edition of the Manifesta Biennial, providing the host region with a structure for education, academic research and professional training.
Manifesta 10 Education
Manifesta 10 in St Petersburg, Russia is a large-scale exhibition and an education programme rooted in the local communities but also establishes nodes of activity beyond the site of the biennial.
The education programme creates a platform for multiple perspectives to be valued and shared, creating a space for exchange and dialogue. A programme of special education initiatives will be farreaching in terms of engaging existing audiences but also developing new audiences to contemporary art through collaborative projects, talks, workshops, tours and digital platforms. This programme is developed in dialogue with artists and specific target groups.
Manifesta 10 Audience Development
Audience development, as part of the education department for Manifesta, plays a key role in acquiring new audiences for contemporary art and is among the main aims of Manifesta’s activities. The Audience Development for Manifesta is all about reaching out towards a wider audience than only the professional ‘biennial audiences’. Therefore Manifesta declares to lower the thresholds by organising outreach initiatives to develop new audiences and seeking under-represented groups, nevertheless it is also about strengthening and deepening relationships within existing biennial audiences.
