The selection of Rotterdam-based Office for Metropolitan Architecture (
OMA) as the Manifesta 12 team for urban studies in Palermo, Sicily, has been followed up by the appointment of an international, interdisciplinary team of four creative mediators.
The Italian architect Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, partner at OMA working on preservation, scenography and curation is both leading OMA Urban Studies, as well as the Manifesta 12 team of creative mediators, which includes the Swiss curator Mirjam Varadinis; Spanish architect, artist and scholar Andrés Jaque; and Dutch filmmaker and journalist Bregtje van der Haak.
Based on the outcome of the urban studies of OMA, these 4 creative mediators will collaborate collectively on the conceptualisation of the Manifesta 12 biennial program. This newly invented biennial model of collaborative research, made by both an urban office working together with a team of interdisciplinary mediators, is functioning as a curatorial intervention in the city of Palermo. This format corresponds with how a nomadic event like Manifesta can create a solid legacy in the host city, according to Hedwig Fijen, director of Manifesta who developed this model.
