The 12th edition of the roving Manifesta biennial—situated this year in Palermo, Italy—has been sparse with details in advance. Over the past year, Manifesta has revealed only a few of its participating artists along with its venues and a concept behind it all. But today, following its opening to members of the press, the biennial announced a full artist list that boasts work by more than 50 artists spread across 20 venues around the city.
Manifesta 12 is named “The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence,” in reference to a comment once made by the botanist Gilles Clément about how the world is like a garden tended by its human inhabitants. With the architecture firm OMA (Office of Metropolitan Architecture) acting as a “creative mediator,” the biennial takes into account Palermo’s history as a port for immigrant arrivals and a place where “new models of citizenship . . . and human rights” are being established, per a statement on Manifesta’s website.
In the spirit of Manifesta’s mission, which aims to situate various artists’ work deep within a host city’s landscape, the 12th edition will have some unusual venues, among them Palermo’s botanical garden, the Chiesa Santi dei Euno e Giuliano, and ZEN, a social housing project.
The biennial’s 12th edition runs through November 4, though there is already more to look forward to after this one ends. Manifesta is a roving biennial, so it never takes place in this same locale twice, and the 2020 edition is already being planned for Marseilles, France.
The artist list follows in full below.
