"The Contemporary at the Service of the Past" Friday December 9, 2011 & Saturday December 10, 2011
Towards Manifesta 9 (Summer 2012 in Genk, Province of Limburg, Belgium):
Since 2002, the Manifesta Foundation, initiator and co-organiser of the Manifesta Biennial, has produced a series of encounters between specialists from various fields and the members of the Manifesta Network, to discuss the evolving practices of Manifesta and the broader art field, and its relevance in the current political, social and artistic climate. Manifesta Coffee Break 2011 is organised by the Manifesta Foundation in Amsterdam in collaboration with Manifesta 9 in Genk, Limburg, Belgium.
On December 9 and 10, artists, curators, theoreticians and members of the public will gather at the Casino Modern in Genk, as part of this Manifesta initiative, to discuss the statement and title of the Coffee Break: "The Contemporary at the Service of the Past". The intent is then to apply their findings to the preparatory process of the forthcoming ninth edition of Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art.
