Manifesta 11
Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, is one of the most influential Contemporary Art Biennials in Europe. As the only roving biennial Manifesta changes its location every two years aiming to investigate and reflect on current developments in contemporary art. Manifesta selected the City of Zurich as Manifesta 11 Host for 2016 and German artist Christian Jankowski as Curator.

Manifesta 11 in Zurich means that the complex and rapidly changing identity of the city will be the object of close curatorial examination.
