Abstract

Approaching the Brink Manifesta 10 and the Standoff over Crimea Agnieszka Gratza Pavel Braila, Railway Catering at Vitebsk Station and The Golden Snow of Sochi on Palace Square; Kristina Norman, Souvenir on Palace Square; commissioned as part of the Public Program at Manifesta 10, St. Petersburg, Russia, June 28–October 31, 2014. n route to St. Petersburg on July 17, I heard the news about the Malaysia Airlines plane shot down in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, claiming 298 lives. The tragic incident colored my brief stay in the city and lent an added urgency to the Public Program of Manifesta 10 that brought me there in the first place. The host city funds the roaming European biennial of contemporary art, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2014. This seriously limited the organizers of the main event—led by veteran curator Kasper König—in their ability to voice criticism over Russia’s role in the 2014 Crimean crisis.
