CURATORS AND LOCATION OF MANIFESTA 6 ANNOUNCED

Nicosia, Cyprus, has been chosen to host Manifesta 6 in the autumn of 2006, and will be organized by curators Mai Abu ElDahab and Florian Waldvogel and artist Anton Vidokle, NonStarving Artists reports. The location was chosen primarily for its capacity to serve as a starting point in guiding Manifesta through a two-year period of investigation around the geographical and conceptual frameworks of Europe at large, particularly with regard to its relationship to the Middle East and North Africa. The organizers were selected through a call for proposals from interdisciplinary collaborative teams.
