The seminar encourages the discussion of topics such as the museum situation for contemporary art, new developments on the art market, and the emergence of new audiences. It intends to place an emphasis on art institutions which are important agencies for cultural or national art policy. Case studies are welcome in order to explain the present situation in different territories of global art.
Application
The fellowships will cover travel expenses and accommodation for up to two weeks in Germany, plus a grant of EUR 1,200.-- for individual research in Europe. They are intended for art experts and art curators with a publication record. Applicants will be expected to present a significant paper on one of the seminar topics, which will then be published in the GAM book series of the ZKM. Applications must include a proposal for a paper to be written in English, a CV, and a description of the candidate?s activities or research. The deadline for the application is November 30, 2008.
