As a member of the Director’s Circle at Modern Art Oxford, I am frequently given the opportunity to experience the sheer eclectic diversity of contemporary art, from exhibitions and events in Oxford and regional galleries, to international exhibitions.
A recent supporters trip took us to the host city of 2018’s Manifesta12 European Nomadic Biennial, Palermo, Sicily’s magnificent capital and one of the most culturally rich regions of the world.
Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography. Each Manifesta Biennial aims to investigate and reflect upon emerging developments in contemporary art, within a European context.
