Posted by: Manifesta

Manifesta, the roving European Biennial of Contemporary art, changes its location every two years. Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

Each Manifesta biennial aims to investigate and reflect on emerging developments in contemporary art, set within a European context. In doing so, we present local, national and international audiences with new aspects and forms of artistic expression.

From research projects, such as the Sealand Identity Project (2004), Museum of Conflict (2006), and Quaero (2007), the group has moved into installations and critical design projects such as Affiche Frontière (CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, 2008) and Stadtstaat (Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and Casco Utrecht). Its recent book, Uncorporate Identity (Lars Müller Publishers, 2010), matches design with inquiries on globalization and network society.

Posted by: Mister Motley

Mister Motley is a full color, quarterly, magazine about contemporary art for people from 20 till 42 years old. Every issue has a theme. We have made issues about 'street life', 'family' and 'folk art', but we also work with more abstract themes such as ‘about death’ or ‘magic’.

Mister Motley has an inspiring, subversive but also strongly informative voice. The magazine inspires the readers to actively be a part of the website-issues: they can mail their own images to the website and have fun with the artists-made assignments placed on the website.
