Descripción de la Exposición

Manifesta 13 Marseille due to start at the end of August 2020 Manifesta 13 Marseille – Traits d’union.s, Le Tiers Programme, Les Parallèles du Sud 28 August – 29 November 2020 Marseille, France Manifesta 13 Marseille will welcome audiences and participants to its three programmes: the central exhibition Traits d’union.s; its education and mediation programme Le Tiers Programme and the parallel programme Les Parallèles du Sud, between the 28th of August and the 29th of November 2020. Manifesta 13 Marseille will be evolving throughout its entire duration. From the 28th of August the plots of Traits d’union.s will start to unfold, gradually moving from plot to plot with different intensities at different speeds, different underlying thoughts and dreams. The story of Manifesta 13 Marseille is that of passages, or as the title of the exhibition suggests, that of hyphens, between one world and the next: Traits d’union. Manifesta 13 Marseille speaks first and foremost to the specific situation of Marseille, especially its histories and contemporary condition in this moment of transition. Manifesta 13 connects the voices of its participants with those of the local partner organisations and the people of Marseille. “For us Manifesta 13 Marseille was never thought of as a ‘full stop', but as a hyphen, or rather hyphens – traits d’union.s – a gesture of bringing together. Yet, suddenly we find ourselves in a situation where reality amplifies and exhilarates some of our underlying thoughts, dreams and nightmares. Suddenly with all the predicaments of the present moment, you realise the urgency by which only culture can speak to the uncertainty of our times.” – Katerina Chuchalina, Stefan Kalmár and Alya Sebti, Artistic Team of Manifesta 13 Marseille “By moving away from the traditional biennial model which Manifesta started to develop for Manifesta 12 Palermo in 2018, the future model for Manifesta is to collaborate even more closely and constructively with local citizens. Manifesta emphasises the potential that already exists within ‘the local’, which is very much visible in the current programme of Manifesta 13 in Marseille.” – Hedwig Fijen, Founding Director of Manifesta “Organising Manifesta 13 Marseille from the 28th of August to the 29th of November 2020, is to give a sign of hope, to reaffirm that we will once again be able to share moments of joy and original artistic experiences. It is also a sign of our support to the artistic scene in Marseille, hit by the crisis, and to give an opportunity to present its talent, originality, inventiveness and generosity to the widest possible audience. It means thinking about the future.” – Jean-Claude Gaudin, Mayor of Marseille, Honorary Vice-President of the Senate of the French Republic Visitors are encouraged to visit Manifesta 13 Marseille repeatedly, exploring all six Traits d’union.s plots as they unfold across the city. At the end of August 2020, Le Tiers Programme will open the sixth exhibition of the Invisible Archives at the Tiers QG, Manifesta’s education and mediation space. Invisible Archives is a sequence of exhibitions exploring the genealogies and non-institutional memories of various civil initiatives, narrated by invited artists or collectives. Projects from Les Parallèles du Sud will be launched in collaboration with a large variety of local, regional and international actors across the region, starting at the end of August. Manifesta 13 Marseille's ticketing policy is under review and will be announced soon. Paid professional accreditations & tickets Those who have already requested and paid for a professional accreditation to the preview days or Early Bird tickets will be contacted by the Manifesta team shortly for the reimbursement process. New tickets following the new ticketing policy (yet to be announced) will be available for sale online soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In light of the current situation surrounding the COVID-19 virus and the French National Government’s announcement on the 16th of March 2020 that France’s borders would close for 30 days and that a national lockdown of 15 days would be enforced, it is in close consultation with the City of Marseille, that Director of Manifesta Hedwig Fijen, together with Manifesta 13 Marseille’s Board members, has officially decided to postpone the 13th edition of the biennial. Manifesta 13 Marseille is currently reviewing multiple scenarios in close collaboration with the City of Marseille, Manifesta’s Artistic Team and Board Members and other cultural stakeholders in the region in the hope of being able to announce the new dates of Manifesta 13 Marseille by mid April 2020. Manifesta will continue to assess the situation as it evolves, prioritising at all times to safeguard the health and wellbeing of its employees, participants and community. Manifesta would also like to express its wholehearted solidarity towards those affected by the crisis. Members of the press and professionals who have already received or requested their accreditation for the preview days of Manifesta 13 Marseille’s three programmes (Traits d’union.s, Le Tiers Programme, and Les Parallèles du Sud) will be contacted once Manifesta 13 Marseille's new dates have been announced, with the manual on how to download their new accreditations. Manifesta 13 Marseille has also postponed its pre-biennial programme until further notice. Manifesta 13 has temporarily closed its two project spaces in Marseille; Espace Manifesta 13 (42 La Canebière) and Tiers QG (57 rue Bernard du Bois) until at least the 15th of April 2020. No public events will take place during this period, including workshops of Le Tour de Tous les Possibles. In addition to this, Manifesta has temporarily closed the exhibition Manifesta Revisited at Manifesta’s Headquarters in Amsterdam. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the announcement of the title of Manifesta 13 Marseille Traits d’union.s, on the 29th of June, Hedwig Fijen, director of Manifesta, Jean de Loisy and Marc Bollet, respectively vice-president and secretary of the Manifesta 13 Marseille’s board, and all members of the Manifesta 13 Marseille’s board, Marie-Hélène Feraud-Grégori, City of Marseille councillor for the Opera, the Theatre and the Contemporary art, and the Artistic Team members are happy to announce the concept of the upcoming biennial as well as a first selection of its venues. The Artistic Team, consisting of Alya Sebti, director of Berlin’s ifa Gallery; architect Marina Otero Verzier, director of Research and Development at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Katerina Chuchalina, chief curator at the V-A-C Foundation in both Moscow and Venice; and Stefan Kalmár, director of the ICA in London, have created a concept that “.. seeks now to evolve Manifesta’s legacy of Manifesta 12 Palermo by asking: How can we not only co-exist, but actually come together and create new ties of solidarity?” “By taking the Condicio Marseillaise as a starting point and by setting new relationships into play between local realities and those of Manifesta 13’s participants, Traits d’union.s connects local debates with those happening elsewhere. Through a deep engagement with the conditions of change and exchange, Manifesta 13 will add voices to the tense and inspiring narratives already existing within Marseille.” “The Artistic Team of Manifesta 13 will work, among others, closely with, within and across six of Marseille’s most prominent institutions: Musée Cantini, Centre de la Vieille Charité, Musée Grobet-Labadié, Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle, Musée des Beaux- Arts and Conservatoire National à Rayonnement Régional de Marseille. Manifesta 13 Marseille’s participants will infuse these existing institutions with different voices, activating the possibilities that these institutions still hold, by temporarily expanding their narratives outwards and inwards, giving way to a more permeable, more open, maybe sometimes even more vulnerable conditions towards new forms of publicness, leaving them perhaps better equipped to speak to some of the challenges of the 21st Century.” Museums play an important role within our society in order to bring people together and to help them understand the complexities of the world around us. The current discourse around museums is shifting in order for institutions to become more inclusive, diverse and to create coexistence. The decision to work with a range of venues in Marseille, including many of the leading museums, is amongst others to create stages on which stories will be told, where plots will be unravelled and where new alliances will be formed. “Traits d’union.s’ venues are elastic sites within a geography of actions and illusions, promises and premonitions, demands and resolutions: artists, poets, writers, scholars and journalists wield the pen to unveil forgotten, hidden, emergent or just never happened narratives.” Espace Manifesta 13 Espace Manifesta 13, inaugurated on the 3rd of October 2019 by Pierre Dartout, Prefect of the Provence-Alpes- côte d’Azur Region and Prefect of the Bouches-du- Rhône represented by Nicolas Dufaud, general secretary of the Préfecture des Bouches-du-Rhône region, Jean- Claude Gaudin, Mayor of Marseille represented by Anne-Marie d’Estienne d’Orves, Deputy of the Mayor of Marseille for Culture and Marie-Hélène Feraud-Gregori, Municipal councillor for the Opera, Theatre and Contemporary Art, Martine Vassal, President of the Bouches-du-Rhône Departmental Council represented by Sabine Bernasconi, Mayor of the 1st and 7th arrondissements and Vice-President of the Bouches-du-Rhône Departmental Council for Culture, and Hedwig Fijen, director of Manifesta 13, is a space for encounters and exchanges, open to the neighbourhood of Noailles and to its inhabitants at the very heart of Marseille. It will host many activities in the year to come including performances, screenings, talks, exhibitions, amongst other events. Inaugural artistic intervention: Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff The Artistic Team of Manifesta 13 Marseille will invite many actors from civil societies and the cultural sphere to take over Espace Manifesta 13. On the occasion of its inauguration, Espace Manifesta 13 has been reinvented by Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff, founders of New Theater and TV, based in Berlin. Henkel and Pitegoff seized this opportunity to use the wooden panels which have been covering the facade of Manifesta’s office on 42 La Canebière for months, in order to rebuild the interior of this space. Bringing new life to otherwise discarded materials, Henkel and Pitegoff have created a stage, a set, a platform for others to use in order to create new narratives in and for the city. This ethos reflects upon the concept of Manifesta 13 Marseille, to unite different voices in order to create new stories. This flexible space will serve pre-biennial activities such as events including performances, screenings, and talks, a library project and the ticketing office. Les Parallèles du Sud As with every edition of Manifesta, Manifesta 13 Marseille includes parallel events, where local and international professionals and organisations are invited to take part in the biennial alongside the main programme and benefit from Manifesta’s international reach and visitors. The projects of Les Parallèles du Sud are featured, associated with, and promoted through digital and analogue Manifesta 13 Marseille communication channels including the website, guidebook and social media. Reflecting upon the main ambitions of Manifesta 13 Marseille, the programme Les Parallèles du Sud aims to highlight the richness of the artistic and cultural local scene, creating long- lasting connections and creative collaborations between a local and international network of professionals, cultural producers, associations and institutions. In order to match the selection criteria, all projects have at least 2 partners, including one local partner and a clear international dimension. The open call of Les Parallèles du Sud was hugely successful, receiving 360 applications from all over the world. The jury commented on the high quality level of the submissions with 97 projects being shortlisted at this stage. 60% of those projects being regional, 25% international, and 15% national. The projects are a reflection of the rich cultural infrastructure of the city of Marseille and its region whilst simultaneously celebrating international collaborations. Manifesta 13 Marseille will reveal the full list of participating projects by the end of November 2019. Les Parallèles du Sud is supported by the Région Sud which grants financial support to some of the selected projects.
