Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

Maurizio Cattelan, IT
The olive tree from Cattelan's intervention being taken to the Casino, one of the main venues of Manifesta 2 Luxembourg.
Installation at Casino Luxembourg
For Manifesta 2, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan transported a fragment of Italy to Luxembourg, namely an olive tree and its roots. Through this, Cattelan intended to explore the extraction of a cube of reality and its transference, but also the possibilities given to sculpture thirty years after the Arte Povera movement.
