Morgen nehme ich an einem Symposium zum Thema „Arts in Austerity“ im Southbank Center London. Anwesenheitspflicht für alle Insulaner.
An international line-up of music promoters, programmers, producers, curators, funders, artists and composers join together for a day of talks and discussions to consider the culture of the arts in a time of austerity.
Artists and arts organisations are adapting to a present (and possible future) economy in which income and other resources are ever scarcer. But how are these changes to the financial economy affecting the social ecology of the arts, and what good examples can we learn from?
This symposium will look at emerging trends – and responses to these trends – in the changing relationships: between arts organisations, artists and volunteers; presenting organisations and their audiences; and between established and countercultural movements in the arts.
Speakers include: Pauline Tambling (Creative & Cultural Skills); Susan Jones (a-n); Abigail Pogson (Spitalfields Music); Martin Bright (The Creative Society); Joseph Smith (Stage One); Judith Knight (Arts Admin); Johannes Kreidler (composer, Berlin); Prof Geoffrey Crossick (AHRC Cultural Values project); Pablo Berástegui (Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Madrid); Andrew Brighton (artist, writer, contributing editor to Critical Quarterly); Richard Whitelaw (Sound and Music); Lucy Railton (London Contemporary Music Festival, Kammerklang); Annie Mahtani (SOUNDKitchen); Ed Carter (Modular); Lois Keidan (Live Art Development Agency); Gillian Moore (Southbank Centre); Jochem Valkenburg (Holland Festival); Graham Vick (Birmingham Opera); and Gaby Jenks (AND Festival).
Supported by Arts Council England, Sound and Music, Institute for Musical Research, and the Goethe Institut, presented in partnership with Southbank Centre.
