An exhibition guide for “Manifesta 9 The Deep of the Modern”

Exhibition guide for the 9th Manifesta, a contemporary art biennial held in Genk and Limburg, Belgium from June 2nd to September 30th, 2012.

Manifesta is a biennale that is characterized by changing the venue every two years, and continues to explore the possibilities of an experimental biennale, focusing on publications and educational programs for each edition. This book was produced as a guide to the exhibition, and is for adults out of three categories: under 12, over 12, and over 18.

This ninth edition of the series curates artworks, concepts and stories that invite readers to reconsider the role of culture in industrial and post-industrial societies. In an encyclopedic format, the book builds an interdisciplinary dialogue between art history, cultural heritage and different layers of contemporary cultural production. It also raises questions about the enduring significance of material production in contemporary art and the impact of coal, the fossil fuel that powered the Industrial Revolution, on the history of contemporary art.
