Manifesta 10

The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg was selected by the Manifesta Foundation to host Manifesta 10. because of its critical intellectual and historical relationship with East and West Europe: a uniting principal that is also central to Manifesta, as the single roving European biennial of contemporary art. Manifesta 10 considers the historical perspective of St. Petersburg’s view to the West, and its extensive relationship with Europe at large. Over 50 artists were invited by curator Kasper König to illustrate their own sections in the catalogue.
