Southwest Florida resident and internationally acclaimed artist Marcus Antonius Jansen was selected for the VIII Biennial Contemporary Art "Dialogues" starting August 4 - 14. 2007 at the MANEGE in St. Petersburg Russia.  The MANEGE Central Exhibition Hall possesses a comprehensive collection of Contemporary art works, and hosts over 2000 art pieces.  This is the result of the hall's fifteen-year activities.  The collection was started in 1991 and has been since formed as the fund of the future St. Petersburg Museum of Contemporary Arts.

From the very beginning the collection has been formed being oriented not only towards latest trends, but also towards 20th century artists. Jansen will have three works on display during the International Biennial at the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege" and one in it's permanent collection.  After this month's May 2007 appearance with three jury selected works in the "William & Mary Review" at the College of William & Mary in Norfolk Virginia, Jansen was also chosen for the 2007 edition of "Primio ALBA 2007, Encyclopedia Dictionary of Modern & Contemporary Art" Ferrera Italy.
