In three weeks time MANIFESTA 10 will open in the Hermitage of St. Petersburg. The challenges are many and the situation is complex. MANIFESTA director Hedwig Fijen, Hermitage Director Mikhail Piotrovsky, Curator Kasper König and the whole MANIFESTA team are intensively working on the final details of the anniversary edition of MANIFESTA, which will be about the dialogue between historical and contemporary art in a historic delicate moment. Please read here the statement of Hermitage Director Mikhail Piotrovsky in an interview with Financial Times (June 6, 2014): ”Art in general is extremely political. (…) Because it explains to everybody that politics is nothing! Art is much more important. Relations between people are much more important than these political things ... Culture has its own rights which [are] different from the rights of the nation and human rights.”
