Public vs. Private

Moderna Galerija Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana

Cultural Policies and the Art Market in Central and South-Eastern Europe

The conference Public vs. Private: Cultural Policies and the Art Market in Central and South-Eastern Europe is one among the series of conferences and symposia that will take place in 2004 in Vienna, Linz, Ljubljana, London, Luneburg and Riga as part of the European Internet project republicart. Supplementing the Vienna conference on Public Art Policies, the conference in Ljubljana will look at the cultural-policy aspects of the wider republicart project. At the same time it is a part of the series of events "In the Cities of the Balkans", the second part of the one-year project "Balkan Trilogy", initiated by Kunsthalle Fridericinaum, Kassel.

The goal of this gathering is to interrogate the workings of art institutions, and their specific support structures. The conference looks at the buffering role of art institutions within the context of the dismantling of the welfare state and cutbacks in arts funding from two distinct regionally oriented perspectives in which the question of the relationship between private and public support for the arts is of particular significance for these two quite different geographical and historical contexts.

At a time when private and public support for art is even more closely intertwined and we see such strategies being introduced as, for instance, "private-public partnerships", the conference will attempt to probe more deeply into the differences between private and public support, in terms of their mechanisms, functions and effects, as well as their mutual rivalry and exclusivity.

Concept by Gregor Podnar in collaboration with Natasa Petresin.
