ARTISTIC STRATEGIES OF SUCCESS
- a dialogue between the East and the West

Conference from 03.- 05 th of December 2004

Academy for Cultural Education, Rosenwall 17, D - 38300 Wolfenbuettel,
Germany

The Federal Academy for Cultural Education Wolfenbuettel
and the German Artist Association

Funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation

The conference aims to the professionalisation of Artistic Strategies
regarding to the cultural dialogue between Eastern and Western Europe.
With regards to the contents this conference intends to deal with the
radical social change and the fast development of the artistic and
cultural scene of five countries in East and South-East Europe
(Bulgaria, Serbia, Slowenia, Hungary and Poland), presenting and
discussing the different political, economical, social and cultural
conditions of production, exhibition and reception, supporting programs,
travel scholarships and possibilities of exchange for artists.
The lecture of Barbara Steiner shows that the term "Eastern europe" is
an abstract and political construction, which concerns less with
topographical borders than with pictures of imagination, assessments and
mechanism of in- and exclusion of the postcommunistic countries. The
process of national idendity finding will be demonstrated by discussing
the part of art and culture in this process. It is also a contradiction
between "national identity" and "global art-discussion" and the
relevance of the art and the artists.
Important and fundamental for the conference "Dialogue between the East
and the West" is to destignate the cultural differences in these
countries and to reflect differentiately the political, economical and
artistical practises. Therefore we will invite artists, curators and
collaborators of institutions, which participate both in the Western and
Eastern context.
A moderated panel discussion marks the end of the conference, which aims
at a network by achieving and discussing specific questions and
possibilities of artistic professionalisation.
