OPENING: 

09 June 2016. 

Until 18 September 2016.

WHERE: 

Manifesta 11 – Zurigo (SVIZZERA).

Curated by CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI

30 international artists are collaborating on projects with “hosts” of their choice. The results of these encounters will be exhibited at the professional hosts’ respective workplaces or at the main Manifesta exhibition venues in well-known Zurich institutions such as the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, LUMA Westbau/POOL, Kunsthalle Zurich and Helmhaus. For example, the Catalan artist Carles Congost is collaborating with the Zurich Fire Brigade to reflect in his film Simply the best how feelings can alternate between passion and wage work. Maurizio Cattelan is working with a Paralympic athlete, Teresa Margolles with a transsexual sex worker, Marguerite Humeau with an engineer, and Shelly Nadashi with a literature teacher.

The 30 participating artists also include the French writer Michel Houellebecq, who has joined forces with a doctor and invites Manifesta visitors to attend a meticulous check-up of his body..
