Mikhail Karikis is going to participate in MANIFESTA 2012 edition.

Entitled the Deep of the Modern, this edition of MANIFESTA intends to create a complex dialogue between different layers of art and history. Its point of departure is the significance of the former coalmining region of Belgian Campine as a locus for different imaginary and ecological issues associated with industrial capitalism as a global phenomenon. The show unfolds over three different sections including Poetics of Restructuring which consists of contributions from 39 contemporary artists, focusing on aesthetic responses to the worldwide “economic restructuring” of the productive system in the early 21st century.
