In 2002 the fourth edition of Manifesta took place in Frankfurt, Germany. This biennial, previous in Rotterdam (1996), Luxembourg (1998) and Ljubljana (2000) aims to create a pioneering, pan-European platform for the contemporary visual arts. In the weekend of May 24-26 I was invited to attend the opening. More information about Manifesta 4 is avalilable at www.manifesta.de or www.manifesta.org.
