''[[MJ Manifesta Journal]]'' is an international magazine focused on the theories and practices of contemporary curatorship. It is based on the concept developed by curators Viktor Misiano (Moscow) and [[Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory|Igor Zabel]] (Ljubljana), chief editors of the first generation of ''MJ Manifesta Journal'' being published between [[Established::2003]] and 2005 by [[Museum of Modern Art|Moderna galerija]] and the International Foundation Manifesta (IFM). 

After [[Igor Zabel]], the ''Manifesta 3'' coordinator and senior curator of the [[Museum of Modern Art|Moderna Galerija]], passed away in July 2005, the recollection of the first five issues of the ''MJ Manifesta Journal'' including the new sixth addition was published in 2008 as a tribute to him.

==Background==
Three years after ''Manifesta 3'', the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, which was held in Ljubljana in the summer 2000 under the topic ''Do You Suffer From A Borderline Syndrome? Where do YOU draw the line?'', Viktor Misiano and [[Igor Zabel]] conceived the ''MJ Manifesta Journal''. The first six issues were dedicated to the following curatorial topics: ''The Revenge of the White Cube?'', ''Biennials'' (both in 2003), ''Exhibition as a Dream'', ''Teaching Curatorship'' (both in 2004), ''Artist & Curator and Archive'' and ''Memory of the Show'' (both in 2005).

In 2008 the International Foundation Manifesta and the Italian publisher Silvana Editoriale reprinted the first issues in one volume and since 2009 continue to print the biannual ''MJ Manifesta Journal'', with Viktor Misiano still as chief editor.
