Strategies of Cultural Management for Representation and Cooperation of Art Institutions and Artists across Europe
Cultural activities are one of the best opportunities for countries to create a strong identity within the process of globalization. On the other hand we can observe that the focus on a monocultural understanding of national cultural identity is no longer a contemporary approach to developing the diversity of artistic innovations in different European countries. Especially the massive changes within the processes of migration and international artistic transfers make this perspective very relevant. Many cities and regions all over Europe are currently looking in the context of cultural tourism for a cultural profile which attracts not only the inhabitants of a single country but also a wider audience. How can we avoid the gaps of monocultural national approaches in the field of cultural actions?
Almost every European country has its own cultural institute like the Goethe Institut (Germany), Instituto Cervantes (Spain), British Council (UK), Institute Francais (France), Finnland-Institut (Germany) Österreich Institut (Austria), etc. as well as several foundations and associations focusing on international cultural transfers. These institutes are very important for creating an European cultural network. Nonetheless, in this context it is very difficult to define what kind of national cultural understanding should be presented and what the precise differences within these European measurements to improve artistic exchanges are.
Therefore the 4th Kufstein Summer School for Arts Management will focus on the question whether we have to reflect a conceivable end of national cultural identities to strengthen a special European approach or whether we have to reformulate the tasks of national cultural institutions and artistic projects to understand the value of national experiences, traditions and approaches in a new way.
The 4th Kufstein Summer School for Arts Management will gather experts from European and non-European countries as well as artists, politicians, arts managers and students from different fields to discuss this topic on a theoretical as well as practical level. Workshops with active involvement of the participants are an important feature of the Summer School. Every participant receives a certificate.
