Art Souvenirs for Manifesta 8

As part of the lead-up to Manifesta 8 in Murcia and Cartagena in Spain (October 2010), a research group was formed at the Dutch Art Institute called the "Platform for (Un)solicited Research and Advice". Together we investigated the concept of the travelling art biennial.

Based on our group discussions we formulated a concept for a travelling souvenir shop, which would tour the Manifesta 8 event and surrounding area. For our travelling shop we created custom-made souvenirs which offered a critical and playful view of the Manifesta Art Biennial.
