Manifesta

Overscore

Old Post Office
Murcia, Spain


nOffice have been invited to design one of the main venues for Manifesta 8. The architecture seeks to transform an abandoned post office into a contemporary exhibition space in the form of a hub that allows different artist groups and social processes to operate within the exhibition as a form of ‘propositional critical machine’. As most artworks are full-scale installations, the spatial framework merges into a carefully choreographed entity which simultaneously acts as backdrop, stage and display, thus enabling various forms of usage and strands of narratives to merge and cross. It is designed as a coherent environment yet will embody a multiplicity of voices.
