From spring to autumn in 2002, artists and artist groups living and working in Europe, the curators, the organizational team and the City of Frankfurt are reinforcing each other in order to create a dialogue, a flux among themselves stressing the different realities of individuals and the way people work together and approach different situations.
The city of Frankfurt/Main is the host for the European Biennial of Contemporary Art,
Manifesta 4. From spring to autumn in 2002, artists and artist groups living and working in
Europe, the curators, the organizational team and the City of Frankfurt are reinforcing each
other in order to create a dialogue, a flux among themselves stressing the different realities of
individuals and the way people work together and approach different situations. The Manifesta
4 project has developed through a process of collaboration among three curators: Iara
Boubnova, Founding Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Sofia, Nuria Enguita Mayo,
Chief Curator at Fundació Tà pies in Barcelona, and Stéphanie Moisdon Trembley, independent
curator and co-founder of "bdv" (bureau des videos), Paris with the close support of many
institutions and individuals in Frankfurt/Main and all over Europe.
The Manifesta 4 project will include permanent displays of works in the exhibition
venues, a video-landsape room, experimental project presentations, broadcasting projects in
collaboration with radio and tv, performances, video programs and a permanent discussion
forum on the web. Projects in the urban domain will supplement the various exhibition venues in
various parts of the city topography.
As like any other work under construction, Manifesta 4 will need the active participation
of visitors to be completed and come alive.
