The Season 11 Manifest Exhibition Annual

This second Manifest Exhibition Annual continues our organization’s commitment to long-term documentation and dissemination of Manifest’s projects, and the expansion of our physical exhibits into a broader geography and time frame, while also bringing all exhibits together under one cover each year to create a more cohesive collection for the public, teachers, libraries, and exhibiting artists.

In season 11 Manifest set foot into the leading edge of its second decade as The Neighborhood Gallery for the World housed in the Victoria Building on Woodburn Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. This was our first full season with fully expanded gallery spaces—five of them! This meant we could confidently plan the whole season for 45 galleries of art across the year (nine exhibit periods times five active spaces programmed for each period). Season 10 proved this was an optimal footprint for the gallery, both because of the amount of space it represented and also because of the architectural nature of the historic building and sequential galleries revolving around a central spine-like corridor and two dramatic glass-fronted street-facing primary spaces with lights on 24/7. Because of this our opening events became magnified as deeper museum-like experiences for gallery visitors.

Season 11 saw the production of 31 exhibitions, a twenty-five percent increase over the previous season. This allowed for refinements and experiments within our season's productions, including expanding our Regional Showcase series, a full gallery of five exhibits participating in and sponsored by the FotoFocus Biennial, and a record 13 solo exhibitions. All of this helped round out our menu of shows, with our customary balance between solo exhibits, annual projects, and unique thematic group shows.

It is also important for the reader to understand that every exhibition at Manifest is put through a rigorous blind jury process—one which prioritizes quality over taste or style, and which by virtue of many jurors volunteering their time from across the country achieves a neutralization of any singular curatorial bias or juror prejudice. The works contained in this book, while inevitably determined in part by the artists who chose to submit, and the works they offered, is also a culmination of this process of extreme selectivity. The 368 works represented here were chosen out of 6,991 submitted across the year.

This second Manifest Exhibition Annual provides a beautiful chapter-by-chapter documentation of the works presented during this season which spanned September 2014 through September 2015. The book is offered in honor of the quality achieved by each and every artist who participated, and everyone who supported the Manifest organization during our 11th season. We believe this to be a more engaging way for the public to experience this documentation as an archive, and will be more meaningful into the future for the artists whose work is included by cementing their place alongside that of their peers in the history of our programming.

Through nine seasons Manifest Press produced 74 full-color catalogs documenting the works selected for every exhibit presented in our galleries. Starting with season 10 (fall of 2013) we shifted to the design of one much larger high quality hard-cover publication documenting each entire season of exhibits, artists, and works shown. The Manifest Exhibition Annual continues Manifest's commitment to long-term documentation and dissemination of our projects, and the expansion of physical exhibits into a broader geography and time frame, while also bringing all exhibits together under one cover each year to create a better product which will be more valuable to the public, teachers, libraries, and exhibiting artists. The book is much larger in size than our already robust INDA, INPA, and INPHA publications, and is designed, printed, and distributed with the same quality and attention to detail. The MEA does not replace those media specific exhibits-in-print, rather it complements them, and we think rounds out Manifest Press's publication suite nicely.

This commitment represented a dramatic undertaking for our small nonprofit staff. We have faced many unexpected challenges and positive changes since establishing the plan for the MEA. Once production of the retrospective books is up to speed each publication will be designed and printed within the first half of the following season, and expected to ship by the following summer. (Manifest's exhibit season runs September to September each year.
