Panel discussion “Artists’ associations in the European context”
On Sunday, May 8, 2016 at 11:30 am, the panel discussion “Artists’ associations in the European context” will be held as part of the closing event of the exhibition (re)thinking Space&Place and documentary exhibition 70 years of WKB at Flottmann-Hallen in Herne.
The panel discussion “Artists’ associations in the European context” will present European artists’ associations and their concepts. It should also provide an impetus for the artists to apply networking to eventually compete in the powerful international art market. The participants of the panel are artists and art experts from Lithuania and Croatia, as well as Künstlerbund Baden-Württemberg. The moderator is Dr. Peter Schmieder, director of Künstlerhaus Dortmund.
Participants:
Daniel Mijic, vice-chairman of Künstlerbund Baden-Württemberg
Josip Zanki, president of Croatian Association of Artists (HDLU)
Arvydas Žalpys, director of Meno Parkas Gallery, Kaunas, Lithuania, Association of Visual Artists of Lithuania
Elly Valk-Verheijen, vice-chairman of the Westdeutscher Künstlerbund
Moderator: Dr. Peter Schmieder, director of Künstlerhaus Dortmund
The organizers are Flottmann Hallen Herne and Westdeutsche Künstlerbund.
Artists’ associations have their specific history of origins and an experience of existence that has been especially eventful over the past century. This applies to artists’ associations in Germany and their strive to set a tangible and substantive new beginning in the visual arts, following the attacks on art by the Nazis during the Second World War. More recent is the reorientation towards the associations of the Eastern European neighbors. Until the end of 1990-ies, artists’ associations were largely immersed into political context, and therefore were not able to function as free associations. During a very short period of time, they have managed to reorient and function confidently within the contemporary art scene on national, European and international levels.
The idea of the European networking of artists and their stakeholders presents an important goal, which can be implemented through co-operation, alternating exhibitions and the exchange of ideas.
