We were in Istanbul last weekend taking part in the City & Art conference. The Forum aimed at bringing together European art and design academia with cities’ cultural actors in order to question the present and future role of the art universities in relation with the cities in which they are located and in relation with their citizens. In order to draw an overall picture of the present situation and the tendencies which will influence the future, European cultural, educational and media policies will initially be revisited and their influences on the metropolitan culture and the position of the arts in the metropolitan society will be discussed….for more info have a look at the City&Art website
Some of our materials are currently also displayed in the Siemens Art exhibition “Useful Contraventions in the public sphere”
