The pre-biennial urban study Le Grand Puzzle forms a blueprint for the artistic concept of Manifesta 13 Marseille. The study conceived by the Dutch architect Winy Maas and The Why Factory will be available at Espace Manifesta 13 from the 28th of August (pre-order online here). Conceptualised and brought together by Manifesta’s Artistic Team, Traits d’union.s (the French word for hyphen) aims to seek new modes of being together, presenting itself as tool for local institutions, associations and cultural producers to connect, exchange and co-create with the researchers, artists, and architects invited by Manifesta 13 Marseille as participants.
