While the file-sharing spectacle rages on in Sweden, this summer, the Bureau for Piracy looks to the rest of the world and embarks on a journey that will take them throughout Europe with final destination the mountainsides of Bolzano, Italy and the Manifesta art biennial.

The Bureau will continue what started with the walpurgis ritual last year, with a re-examination party in the Italian mountains and the presentation of a new statement based on our recent experiences from the Scandinavian copyfight. The party will be open for you all and the whole project will be documented and shared with everyone.

You can be an important contributor to this by helping us with our first mission. With the help of The Pirate Bay community we want to get a bus that will be transformed into a pirate bus. Do you have one or know anyone that has? Contact us!

The pirate bus will not only be transporting the participants from the Spring mountain in Stockholm to the mountain regions of Bolzano in June. It will also feature as media central during our visit and will be left in the exhibition hall as the remaining art installation.

You know who we are. Manifesta art biennale is held to be one of the most innovative art events of its kind and highly respected within the contemporary art community. Their invitation of The Bureau for Piracy to Manifesta will expose the artworld to the fascinating KOPIMI way of life.

If you are interested in being a part of this historic endeavor please email bus@piratbyran.org for further details.
