> Current DAI student Susannah Mira’s proposal for Manifesta 6 was picked up from 750 applications. She was selected to participate in Department 3 of the Manifesta school, curated by Florian Waldvogel. Due to disagreements between the curators and the local governements, with only a couple of weeks to go before the opening, Manifesta 6 has been cancelled a week ago.

> Current DAI student Tsui-lun Liu and DAI alumnus Anne Schiffer are among other artist joining the group show: Hopes and Fears.
Hopes and Fears will be an exhibition that tries to deal with contemporary ethnocentric West European societies where sometimes no gray areas seem to exist; where our fear and anger are constantly juxtaposed against our desires, dreams and hopes. This summer eight artists will create two 'seperated' and contrasting theme rooms at the Rael Artel Gallery in Pärnu, Estonia. One for the subject 'Hopes' and another that deals with the topic of 'Fears': a 'dark' and a 'white' room. The artists like to present a confrontation of differing contemporary artistic visions on both subjects to the audience.
