Tabula Rasa: 30 Events on a Long Table

About me

Location	Bolzano / Bozen, BZ, Italy
Introduction	Tabula Rasa, a special project of Manifesta 7, part of the exhibition The Rest of Now, is a series of events unfolding over 111 days in the frame of the ex- Alumix industrial building. A long white table – tabula rasa – especially designed by Nikolaus Hirsch and Michel Müller serves as a container of events such as exhibitions, table-top performances, sound installations, theatre, workshops, panel discussions, talks, book presentations, gardening, and the occasional banquet, in a continuous flux of ephemeral experiences, disappearing one after the other, leaving behind nothing but a trace impressed in the memory of the participants. Tabula Rasa represents an element of continuous evolution and change within the exhibition and it offers a platform for self-reflection, criticism and debate on the concepts raised by it. Serving as a strong link between The Rest of Now and the locality, thanks to its democratic free access, and characterized by longer opening hours, it aims to offer a meeting space for new interactions and conversations, not only for the residents of Bolzano / Bozen, but also to visitors from the region, and beyond. Radio Tandem is media partner of Tabula Rasa.
