A conference devoted to theoretical rejection and critical evaluation of the current relationship between cultural institutions mediating contemporary art, the public and the state.<\/p>\n
The AVU Research Centre and the Department of Aesthetics of the Faculty of Arts in Prague organised a conference on 4 October 2010 in the AVU DigiLab lecture theatre in Prague (U Akademie 4).<\/p>\n
The conference \u201cCultural politics and visual art\u201d aimed to create a space for theoretical reflections on the current relationship between cultural institutions mediating contemporary art (including galleries, art schools and civic associations), the general public and the state and a critical evaluation of debates on this theme. Though much has been written on the topic, there is no deeper reflection on the relationship of the state and culture (especially in the artistic and aesthetic spheres) that would establish a new conceptual framework for discussions. In other words, we lack a meta-language that would clarify the field of possible strategies and create a background for the systematic critique of cultural policy and a clearly formulated conflict of ideas.<\/p>\n
