Institutional Attitudes – seminar

On the occasion of the book Institutional Attitudes by Pascal Gielen several speakers will present their ideas about the role and position of the art institute.
Classical art institutes, as museums, opera's or repertoir theaters, played an important role in defining and shaping a standard for national culture. The question is however, if they are still capable to deepen this role within a global context, in a world based on networking and horizontal structures.
