ART CITIES:Zurich-Your Memories Are Our Future

Each edition of Manifesta is accompanied by Parallel Events. Their aim is to highlight various aspects of the local and regional art scenes and to create a dialogue between them and the main exhibition. The art projects covered by the Parallel Events are integrated into the communication strategy for the overall programme of Manifesta 11.

The group exhibition “Your Memories Are Our Future” transforms an old maintenance plant into a bedroom where day and night, work and dreams trade with each other. Palais de Tokyo presents the exhibition in parallel to Manifesta 11, Zurich. The exhibition is the result of a partnership with the art production company ACRUSH settled in a former railway maintenance plant. Acording to the Curators “The former plant has now become a site of artistic production, the exhibition goes beyond the fixed categories that usually distinguish industry, craft and art, to offer an indeterminate critical consideration of the artwork. The machines surrounding it are still predominant, preventing a perception of total detachment from the techniques that surround it”. The exhibition title is taken by the French writer Alain Damasio. This project is part of Palais de Tokyo’s continued mission to promote the contemporary French art scene during major international art events. Participating artists:  Mathis Altmann, Darren Bader, Julie Beaufils, Nina Beier, Bruno Botella, Jean-Alain Corre, Athene Galiciadis, Dorian Gaudin, Ken Kagami, Tobias Madison and Emanuel Rossetti, Emanuel Rossetti, Mia Marfurt, Anita Molinero, Shana Moulton, Marina Pinsky, Pablo Réol and Maxime Rossi.
