Manifesta 10 European Biennial Held at Saint Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum in 2014

The tenth edition of Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, took place at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Running from June 28 to October 31, 2014, this marked the first time the nomadic biennial was hosted in Eastern Europe. The event was documented in the October 2014 issue of artpress magazine, specifically on page 12 of issue number 415. Manifesta's selection of Saint Petersburg as a host city represented a significant geographical and cultural expansion for the biennial, bringing contemporary European art to a major Russian institution. The State Hermitage Museum, one of the world's largest and oldest museums, provided a historic backdrop for the contemporary art exhibition. The biennial's duration spanned four months during the summer and autumn of 2014. This iteration of Manifesta continued the biennial's mission of exploring and responding to specific European contexts through contemporary artistic practices. The collaboration between the nomadic biennial and the established Russian museum created a dialogue between historical collections and contemporary works.
