The 9th edition of Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art taking place in Genk, Limburg, Belgium from July 2 until September 30, 2012. For the first time in the history of Manifesta, the biennial will take place in one single venue. For Manifesta 9 the large-scale industrial complex of the former coalmine Waterschei in Genk has been chosen.

Taking into consideration the significance of the former Belgian coal mining region as a locus for discussing both the geographical and imaginary aspects of industrial capitalism as a global phenomenon, Manifesta 9 will develop as a unique dialogue between art, history and social reflection.

The full open call is on the website of Manifesta 9: http://manifesta9.org/en/news/open-call-for-art-mediators

The deadline for applications is November 20, 2011.
