SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT AND MESSE FRANKFURT

KULTURZONE06
5 DAYS
5 THEMES
12-16 July 2006

The Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is organizing its first joint international conference with Messe Frankfurt to be held 12-16 July 2006. Over five consecutive days, from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. the next morning, five highly charged, controversial themes of our present-day cultural reality will be presented and discussed by a hundred and twenty internationally renowned scholars, journalists, visual artists, writers, actors, and designers in lectures, podium discussions, artistic installations, and actions.

The five themes of KULTURZONE06 are: “Waves, Trends, and Early Warning Systems," “Everything Thinks, Except Human Beings," “Good-bye, Subculture; Hello, Success Culture," “Rethinking Spirituality: The Return of the Religious," and “Me, Inc., versus the ’Hood: The Culture of Community." The goal is to develop different perspectives and points of view on the cultural discourse and to offer a forum for exchange of heterogeneous approaches.

KULTURZONE06 will take place in the Forum of the Messe Frankfurt. It will offer not only a conference with lectures and panels but also a Culture Club with performances; readings; art, music, and film events; and a Children’s Academy with numerous workshops for all ages. The whole site will become an open, lively platform for information, discussion, and events, transforming it into a place for encounters.

The conference is, according to Dr. Martina Weinhart, the curator of KULTURZONE06 and a staff curator at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, “an important and necessary platform for discussing current themes of contemporary society in an open forum, beyond any ideological monopolization. As the current debates over cultural identity, youth culture, and community show, culture, its production, agents, and fields of action are an important mirror and epistemological instrument for the existential questions of our time. Culture is a living process that has to be questioned repeatedly. In that spirit, the conference is designed to be interdisciplinary, networking art with the scholarly fields and debates in which interest is strongest at the moment."
