19 July - 02 November 2008
Manifesta 7, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art will be hosted by the Trentino – South Tyrol Region from July 19 to November 2, 2008. For the first time it will take place in Italy and will stretch across an entire regional territory – one hundred and fifty kilometres of crossroads of different cultures and intersecting traditions, rich in historical monuments and in sites of industrial archeology. It involves four cities which together create a single connecting route along the Brenner axis between the north and south of Europe: Fortezza (Bressanone), ex-Alumix factory in Bolzano, the Palazzo delle Poste in Trento, Manifattura Tabacchi and ex-Peterlini factory in Rovereto.
"Manifesta is a pan-European nomadic platform for the contemporary visual arts that is run by the International Foundation Manifesta in Amsterdam. The first Manifesta was held in Rotterdam in 1996. Since then, this European Biennial of contemporary art moved to Luxembourg, Ljubljana, Frankfurt and San Sebastian.

- International Curators Forum
- The ICF. The International Curators Forum is an open conceptual network that meets to discuss emerging issues of curatorial practice in the context of key events in the international arts calendar. It offers bursaries and professional development opportunities to curators and works in partnership with key national and international bodies. This program has been conceived to promote opportunities for curators to visit and participate in several major international art events to enable them to network and gain experience for their career development. ICF is an open peer to peer network and arena to connect ideas that have migrated across the world with professional developments that are increasingly global, but particular in their impact. The next phase seeks to create a range of activity that consolidates key partnerships and explores a wider range of professional development and mobility opportunities for curators, residencies, workshops and salons. For this development ICF is seeking to work with partners and funders in England, in the EU and beyond.
