Manifesta11 The Historical Exhibition

So been quite busy at the moment. I'm officially the co-curator of The Historical Exhibition of Manifesta11 which opens in Zurich this June. The artist list for my contextual show, which I have been curating with the main curator Christian Jankowski, gets announced April 5 and will take place across the city at the Kunsthalle Zurich, Migros Museum, Luma Foundation and Helmhaus. The theme of the biennial is What People Do For Money. Sneak peaks in the coming months.

I contributed to Christian Jankowski's current show at Friedrich Petzel in New York. Lots of art writers and critics were asked to write reviews about the show and process and place them in bottle we chose. The bottles were all sealed with red wax and stamped with a “CJ 2012” steal. Prior to being placed around the gallery, Christian photographed each one in the river. Writing the text was a delightfully futile process where the words become messages floating in a cultural sea. 

My bottle is in the picture above! I recognise the string I tied it with and the spotted green Sprite bottle I got from my mini bar at The Standard...
