All applicants must apply with their precise concept for this guided tour. A tour of a social sculpture, so to speak.

Apart from the guided tour, the five selected concept proposals will furthermore be exhibited in one of the main museum locations of Manifesta 8 and will be on view throughout the biennial from September 30th, 2010 (preview) to January 9th, 2011.
