Manifesta 12 Palermo Biennial Concept Unveiled: the Planetary Garden Manifesta 12 Palermo biennial concept unveiled: The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence. Rome, 27 November 2017 | Under embargo until 27 November 2017 Manifesta 12 Creative Mediators Bregtje van der Haak, Andrés Jaque, Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli and Mirjam Varadinis have unveiled the concept for the upcoming Manifesta 12 biennial in Palermo, opening on 16 June 2018 until 4 November 2018. The concept was announced during a press conference in Rome on 27 November, with introductions by the Italian Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism Dario Franceschini, the Director and Founder of Manifesta Hedwig Fijen, the Mayor of Palermo Leoluca Orlando, and Palermo’s Councilor of Culture Andrea Cusumano. Manifesta 12, taking place in Palermo in 2018, is the latest installment of the world’s only nomadic biennial of contemporary art and culture. Throughout its 11 editions, Manifesta has always been politically and socially engaged, beyond producing an experimental and emerging art experience. From Ljubljana in 2000, Trentino and South Tyrol in 2008 and Saint-Petersburg in 2014 to Manifesta 12 Palermo in 2018 and Manifesta 13 Marseille in 2020, Manifesta has consistently chosen unexpected host locations that reflect the changing DNA of Europe and shed new light on its key issues and transformations. Palermo is an excellent host city in this context, allowing Manifesta 12 to continue its story of decoding Europe. On the one hand, Manifesta 12 will investigate contemporary challenges from Palermo’s perspective as the Mediterranean hub. On the other, it will attempt to mobilise the existing energy of the city through intensive education programmes, Manifesta’s international network and long-term projects that will kick-off during the biennial but, hopefully, create a sustainable impact after Manifesta. 1 “Today biennials should be more than the sum of a series of exhibitions. The added value of Manifesta 12 is the fact that the biennial programme takes place in 2018 in the Sicilian city of Palermo, where important geopolitical, social and ecological realities of our times are arising. For Manifesta 12, Palermo constitutes the deep complexities that people worldwide are facing. We hope that Manifesta 12 creates new perspectives in terms of staging the immaterial and material legacy for the future of the city.” Director and Founder of Manifesta, Hedwig Fijen “Palermo is currently taking on the role of a cultural model, where culture does not only connect people with each other, but also to other communities. In Palermo’s history, coexistence has always been an everyday practice, more than just an idea or an intention. This is the reason why Manifesta 12 will be an integral and fundamental part of the programme of Palermo Capitale della Cultura Italiana, because Palermo, as we say, is the capital of "cultures": cultures that have found in our city the place for their own coexistence, dialogue and mutual enrichment. Mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando “As a widespread and participatory event, Manifesta 12 will provide a great opportunity to deeply engage with the social realm of Palermo, its different neighbourhoods and all its citizens. It will undeniably contribute to making Palermo not only a capital of Italian culture, but also a capital of European culture at large.” Councilor of Culture of the City of Palermo, Andrea Cusumano "Palermo is in itself a capital at the heart of the Mediterranean. It has managed to gain new importance, because of its growth in the fields of culture and tourism. I am sure that such an excellent cultural event as Manifesta 12, along with the many activities, which are part of the programme of Palermo Capitale della Cultura Italiana 2018, will make Palermo and Sicily even more vibrant and attractive to the entire world. " Italian Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, Dario Franceschini 2 Manifesta 12 Palermo Concept For a full overview of the concept and its components, please see the curatorial text by Manifesta 12 Creative Mediators in the annex 1 (page 17). Veduta di Palermo, Francesco Lojacono, 1875, Palermo Atlas, courtesy OMA Titled “The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence”, the concept explores coexistence in a world moved by invisible networks, transnational private interests, algorithmic intelligence and ever-increasing inequalities through the unique lens of Palermo – a crossroads of three continents in the heart of the Mediterranean. Closely collaborating with Palermitan partners, Manifesta 12 will co-inhabit Palermo as a laboratory to investigate the challenges of our time and look for traces of possible futures. Throughout history, the City of Palermo has been a laboratory for diversity and cross- pollination, shaped by continuous migration. In the 1875 painting by Francesco Lojacono, View of Palermo (in the collection of the GAM Museum in Palermo), nothing was indigenous. Olive trees came from Asia, aspen from the Middle East and eucalyptus from Australia. Citrus trees – the symbol of Sicily - were introduced under Arab sovereignty. 3 The botanical garden of Palermo, Orto Botanico, was founded in 1789 as a laboratory to nurture, test, mix and gather diverse species. Inspired by Palermo’s Orto Botanico, Manifesta 12 will look at the idea of the “garden”, exploring its capacity to aggregate difference and to compose life out of movement and migration. Gardens are places where diverse forms of life mix and adapt to co-exist. They allow for cross-pollination based on encounter. In 1997, French Botanist Gilles Clément described the world as a “planetary garden” with humanity in charge of being its gardener. Twenty years later, Manifesta 12 will revisit the metaphor of the “garden”, not as a space for humans to take control, but rather as a site where “gardeners” recognise their dependency on other species, and respond to climate, time, or an array of social factors, in a shared responsibility. “The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence” will host 4 main sections, each touching on key topics of the concept: Garden of Flows, Out of Control Room, City on Stage and Teatro Garibaldi as the main center of Manifesta 12 (currently hosting a pre-biennial programme “Aspettando Manifesta 12” – Waiting for Maniefsta 12). Palermo Atlas by OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) The Manifesta 12 concept was extracted from the city itself through a preliminary phase of investigation by OMA, Palermo Atlas. It was the first time that Manifesta had kicked- off the biennial with a research by an architecture office. The goal was to have a deeper understanding of social, cultural and geographical textures of the city; highlight its existing opportunities; and provide a source for audiences to understand contemporary transformations through “the eyes” of Palermo. “Palermo Atlas is a study of the past and present city, a collection of patterns, perceptions, stories and testimonies gathered on the ground and supported by data. On the one hand, the Atlas uses the city of Palermo as a point of departure to tell the story of the Mediterranean and Europe at large; on the other it is a reflection on characteristics that are specific to Palermo. Together with artists and other practitioners, we walked the city with dozens of individual ‘Palermitani’ who toured us through samples and sections of their city, visiting over 100 sites ranging in character, history, cultural, civic and social relevance. The collection of journeys, stories and encounters has allowed us to approach the many milieus existing within Palermo and to start ascertaining its complexity. Out of this engagement, Manifesta 12 is partnering with Palermo to mobilise those who live there and to leave a lasting legacy.” Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli on Palermo Atlas, Manifesta 12 Creative Mediator and Partner at OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) 4 Palermo Atlas will be published in print and e-book formats in 2018. In addition, it will be represented in the main Manifesta 12 biennial programme. Currently, the Atlas can be viewed at Manifesta 12 headquarter in Palermo, Teatro Garibaldi. Parcours Along with the biennial programme itself, Manifesta 12 parcours will invite local and international audiences to discover the material and immaterial heritage of Palermo. Visitors will have a choice of enjoying an accessible and walkable parcours or venturing further into the city to explore some of the long-term projects designed to create a tangible legacy for Palermitans. “Manifesta 12’s thematic and geographic organisation are intertwined, triggering a journey through the city like a section through its anatomy: from the abandoned and derelict heritage of the historical centre, to the failed utopia of the periphery; from the glorious history of its gardens to its neglected and toxic coast.” Manifesta 12 Creative Mediators Further parcours details will be released in the coming months as the programme evolves. Interdisciplinary approach One of the key characteristics of “The Planetary Garden” concept and Manifesta 12 at large is an interdisciplinary approach. Manifesta 12 is the first edition to include not only traditional art curators, but an interdisciplinary group of specialists in the curatorial team. Bregtje van der Haak is a renowned Dutch journalist and filmmaker; Andrés Jaque is a Spanish architect, founder of the Office for Political Innovation and professor at Columbia University; Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli is a Sicilian-born architect and partner at OMA/AMO, and Mirjam Varadinis is a Swiss contemporary art curator at Kunsthaus Zurich. This curatorial model was necessary to understand how to decode Palermo in all its complexities and amplify the already existing energy of the city in experimental ways. Each of the Manifesta 12 Creative Mediators have used their respective expertise and background to contribute to the biennial programme. This will be evident through the diversity of projects in Manifesta 12 that will extend beyond contemporary art into 5 architecture, public space, science, geography, agronomy, literature, food, cinema, anthropology, social design, storytelling and more. Further details on the Manifesta 12 participants and projects will be unveiled as the biennial approaches its opening.

You can either find yourself spoilt for choice or totally bewildered when Vconsidering what to see and do. And no trip to Sicily should be squandered by not having prepared an amazing itinerary of activities to enjoy. An enviable problem I’ll confess, but one I intended to solve nevertheless, so I met with one of the island’s most prominent and cultured ambassadors; a lady who can offer the ‘discerning’ visitor an insight into the true Sicily and its captivating appeal, the Duchess of Palma, Nicoletta Polo.

  • Traits D'union.S, Le Tiers Programme, Les Parallèles Du
    Under the High Patronage of Mr Emmanuel MACRON President of the French Republic Manifesta 13 Marseille in 2020 One Biennale, Three Programmes: Traits d’union.s, Le Tiers Programme, Les Parallèles du Sud Press release — 1 Over the course of the past 12 editions - starting in Rotterdam in 1996 Marseille and travelling to Marseille in 2020, via Ljubljana in 2000, Saint-Petersburg 27th of February 2020 in 2014 and Palermo in 2018 and before going to Prishtina in 2022 - Manifesta has consistently chosen unexpected host cities to reflect upon the pressing issues and transformations that Europe is facing today. Given its nomadic nature, and the need to adapt to a different location and context for each edition, Manifesta is in constant transformation, investigating the current and specific geopolitical challenges within each host city, with new commissioning partners every two years. For Manifesta 13 Marseille, which takes place this year from the 7th of June until the 1st of November 2020, the ambition is to experiment with collaborative forms of knowledge production and where renewed models of collectivity, diversity and co-existence can be tested. The question of Manifesta’s very identity, balanced between an art biennial of symbolic artistic practices and a civic instrument of social change, was specifically felt upon arriving in Palermo and Marseille, and prompted Manifesta to reinvent its research model, linking the biennial to the issues of each city. Hedwig Fijen, director of Manifesta, said: “In line with our long-term, experimental and democratic collective knowledge production, Manifesta 13 Marseille introduces an alternative mediation model in which a series of trans-disciplinary programmes now function next to each other.

  • Manifesta 13 Marseille New Artistic Team Announced for Edition in 2020 MARSEILLE
    MANIFESTA 13 Manifesta 13 Marseille new artistic team announced for edition in 2020 MARSEILLE Press Release — 1/5 Following the August 2018 appointment by Manifesta 13 of Dutch architect Winy Maas and urban practice MVRDV to conduct the pre-biennial research study for the Marseille city of Marseille, a new artistic team has been selected for Manifesta 13 Marseille in 17 October 2018 2020 by Director of Manifesta, Hedwig Fijen. Manifesta 13 Marseille will apply the same innovative approach introduced in Manifesta 12 Palermo, where an in-depth urban study preceded the appointment of 4 trans-disciplinary Creative Mediators who collaborated to genuinely integrate the biennial into the social, cultural, and political fabric of the city of Palermo. This model will now be continued for Manifesta 13 taking place in 2020 in Marseille with the intention to unlock the city and leave a tangible legacy as was accomplished in Palermo. This is the first time that Manifesta will hold a biennial edition in France. Acutely mirroring the current geo-political challenges both Europe and France are facing, and specifically Marseille as a city of many contradictions, this Mediterranean metropole provides an apt location to hold the European Nomadic Biennial in 2020. Manifesta is announcing the artistic team of its 13th edition: Moroccan Alya Sebti is today the director of Berlin’s ifa Gallery, has recently been the guest curator of the 13th Dak’Art, Biennial of Contemporary African Art (2018), and was Artistic Director of the 5th Marrakech Biennial; Spanish architect Marina Otero Verzier is the Director of Research and Development at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Moscow-based, Russian Katerina Chuchalina, is chief curator at the V-A-C Foundation in both Moscow and Venice; German Stefan Kalmár is currently the director of the ICA in London, formerly director of Artists Space New York City, and Kunstverein München, and former resident of Marseille having lived in the city for 12 years.

    Bocconea 28: 161-172 https://doi.org/10.7320/Bocc28.161 Version of Record published online on 22 November 2019 Vernon H. Heywood The cultural heritage of Mediterranean botanic gardens* Abstract Heywood, V. H.: The cultural heritage of Mediterranean botanic gardens. — Bocconea 28: 161- 172. 2019. — ISSN: 1120-4060 printed, 2280-3882 online. Mediterranean botanic gardens represent a rich and diverse cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. They include spectacular landscapes and the plantings include many important intro- ductions of both ornamental and economically important species. The gardens also contain many buildings of great architectural merit, some historic, some modern. Also important are the historic glasshouses and shade houses. Many of these gardens contain important herbarium collections that have served a key role in the preparation of Floras and major botanical libraries containing historical works of great value as well as works of art, sculptures paintings, drawings, and other illustrations and invaluable historic archives. The intangible cultural heritage of these gardens is represented by the impact that they have had the inhabitants of the cities and towns in which they are located and on generations of visitors – students, professionals and the public. With the decline of teaching and research in botany as a university discipline, some of these collections are at risk of dispersal or an even worse fate. In the face of these uncertainties a series of proposals to help safeguard this invaluable heritage is given, including the compilation of an inventory of these his- torically important buildings, libraries, works of art and archives and the use of the latest scanning and imaging techniques so that a visual record is prepared.

    PORTOVENERE ITALY he ancient town of Portovenere looks T as if a brilliant impressionist painting has come to life. This romantic sentiment may not have been shared by those defending or assaulting the town over the past 1,000 years. However, today it can be said with relative cer- tainty that there is little chance of an attack by the Republic of Pisa, Saracen pirates, barbaric hordes or French Emperors. In other words, relax, have fun and enjoy your day in lovely, peaceful Portovenere. HISTORY With a population a little over 4,000, Portovenere is a small, Portovenere was founded by the Romans in the 1st century medieval town. It was built and defended by the Republic of Ge- BC. Known as Portus Veneris, it was built upon a promon- noa for nearly 800 years. This hilly point of land stretches north tory which juts out into the sea.
