Global Academy? Learning and teaching art in the globalised world Conference in Salzburg on 5/6 August 2016

Today, “education” is a central topic in the global field of art. This conference deals with the specific question: how can art be learned and taught in the globalised world? State-run academies are increasingly geared to global demand; countless studio programmes for residencies worldwide allow artists and curators to make contacts, carry out research, etc. in specific places. The focus of this conference is on models and initiatives for a variety of formal and mainly informal artistic training and development facilities.

From now on, we present you our lecturers of the conference on this very blog!
