Notes : [ Manifesta is a new international art manifestation, which takes place every two years in a different European city. The first edition of Manifesta took place in Rotterdam, at local art institutions. The curators of Manifesta 1 were Rosa Martinez (Barcelona), Viktor Misiano (Moscow), Katalin Néray (Budapest), Hans Ulrich Obrist (Paris/Vienna) and Andrew Renton (London). They conceived the manifestation around a series of themes, such as OEDeclining and Becoming,’ OETwo Breeding Flowers Will Never Breed the Same,’ and OELaboratory for Comparative Studies.’ The tradition of large exhibitions on contemporary art has mainly been defined by documenta in Kassel and the Venice Biennial. These two manifestations represent the conventional models for group exhibitions: either the expression of the vision of one curator, or an unconnected assembly of national presentations. Manifesta 1 intended to develop an alternative model for exhibitions of contemporary art. The experimental set-up of Manifesta 1 corresponded with the exhibition WATT (in 1994), in which Witte de With investigated the possibilities of the group show by exhibiting the work of 29 artists in two different spaces: Witte de With and the Kunsthal Rotterdam. Witte de With decided to participate in Manifesta 1 by making its entire exhibition space available. The Manifesta curators, who chose the theme of OEmigrations’ for the exhibition at Witte de With, selected the following eight artists for the exhibition at Witte de With: Róza El-Hassan (1966, Budapest), Carl Michael von Hausswolff (1964, Stockholm), Eva Marisaldi (1966, Bologna), Jenny Marketou (1951, Athens/New York), Hale Tenger (1960, Istanbul), Henrik Plenge Jacobsen (1967, Copenhagen/Paris), Uri Tzaig (1965, Tel Aviv) and Susann Walder (1959, Zurich). source: http://www.wdw.nl/wdwplain/manifesta.htm ]
