"""Adopting a convincing interdisciplinary methodology, Erdem ?olak provides a meticulously researched evaluation of Manifesta. With great authority and insight, he navigates not only the fault-lines of an emergent 'new Europe' as place but also the place of art within that continuing process."" --Nicolas Whybrow, Emeritus Professor of Urban Performance Studies, University of Warwick, UK ""We've waited nearly twenty years for a newly dedicated exploration of Manifesta and how it reshaped the terrain of contemporary art in Europe. �olak fills that gap with a book at once critical and caring of this landmark institution, and a timely exploration of biennial culture since the 1990s."" --Anthony Gardner, Professor of Contemporary Art History, University of Oxford, UK ""Pulling back the curtain on Manifesta, political scientist Erdem �olak offers a clear-eyed, data-driven dive into the show's ""art-politics-commerce triangle"" over time. The author makes a compelling argument for Manifesta as a carrier of neoliberal consensus - defining European-ness through scaled effects, as individual artworks, curatorial solidarities, and urban alterations leave their mark on the future."" --Caroline A. Jones, Associate Dean, MIT School of Architecture and Planning, USA, and author of The Global Work of Art (2016)"
