Cultural Management Conference

2

Berlin

the choice of the venue for this conference: the Verlag Der Tagesspiegel, which was already a partner of the Goethe-Institut’s journalists’ exchange pro-gramme Close-Up in 2009, is now the host and the media partner of this conference.

We all know that artists, curators and other people working in the creative sector as well as cultural managers are seismographs of their society, yet at the same time protagonists themselves in social change. The current political developments have de- monstrated this to us strikingly. Art and culture are moving more and more into the sights of foreign policies aimed at accompanying and promoting societal developments, providing economic and so-cial stimuli and facing worldwide challenges. Art and culture not only entertain and inspire, but cultural projects and art productions can unfold their specific effects in a variety of spheres in society, industry and politics. For this, they need intelligent and effective organizational and conceptual support – in other words professional cultural management. In our assessment, the time was ripe for mutual deliberations: Where does the job profile of the cultural manager stand today? What do we believe cultural managers are capable of and what – in the urban, the national and the regional environment and in international encounters – does the future of cultural management look like?

In order to grasp the various perspectives of this topic, to identify common interests and sketch out possible projects, this conference employs creative visualization and networking methods. A live “Visual Space of Ideas” will be created here in cooperation between the speakers, moderators, participants and the Dialogarchitects®. We are curious to learn the results; we will take them up and continue to pursue them in coming years.

Many thanks to the co-organizers and to you, the participants, for your support, your interest and your dedication. I am looking forward to us all having a few exciting and fruitful days.

JOhAnne s eBerTSecretary-General of the Goethe-Institut

Managing culture, or devising and organizing cultural programmes, has been a central task and competence of the Goethe-Institut since it began its work as the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2008, we began offering cultural management as a training programme for independent cultural stakeholders and for the staff of cultural institutions. These institutions are also the partners of the cultural programming work of the respective local Goethe-Instituts.

The concept has proven itself and been successively expanded. As of today, far more than 180 participants from more than 60 countries have taken part in the cultural management programmes of the Goethe-Institut, approximately 75 cultural institutions from all fields in Germany have made the accompanying internships possible and a variety of educational institutions – agencies, institutes of higher learning as well as freelance trainers – were commissioned with the development of curricula and the implementation of the advanced training courses for cultural management – whether in German, English, French or Russian.

In the same way, the co-organizers of the confer-ence have increasingly been involved in educational programmes in recent years. Art production and the funding of artists have been supplemented by support for networks and cultural managers. I am very pleased that the many years of cooperation between the Goethe-Institut and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Stiftung Mercator and the Allianz Kulturstiftung is being continued in the field of cultural management and also welcome the Caspar Ludwig Opländer Stiftung and the European Cultural Foundation to our joint conference Cultural Management – The Art of Managing Culture.

The Art Of Managing Culture Berlin

T he V i s u a

l s p a c e of I d e a

s

Dialogarchitects’® vision and task for this conference is to introduce a visual dialogue and a collective creation process using the space of the event as a shared working platform. Dialogarchitects® realize their communication art in very different organisations – in business, international institutions as well as in government ministries. This conference needs a special setting because it is situated between the organisational needs of management and the artistic, cultural perspective. This is already expressed in its title: “The Art of Managing Culture.”

Through pro-active listening and visual sharing, in their industry projects Dialogarchitects® enable their clients to become active catalysts of their project process and to create and implement novel solutions in projects with high complexity and large numbers of diverse participants from different cultures, professional fields and hierarchy levels. In this sense, visualisation and co-creation are two complementary processes taking their roots from the arts. Here Dialogarchitect’s® understanding of artistic work is not aimed at a work of art as product and result that can be sold, collected and exposed, but is focussing at the strategic way and the social co-creation process artists “roll out” while creating novel things.

During the conference, Dialogarchitects® will be visualising in real time what is expressed by people in the event, creating images with pictograms using key words according to what has been said. These drawings will progressively fill the conference walls. Experiences, best practices, concerns, fears, challenges and potentials collected from workshops, talks and discussions will be visible in a growing “all-round overview.” This will generate a network of images and messages within a common work platform, the VIS Visual Space of Ideas, on which participants will be able to situate their contents during the two days.

The distinctive aspect of this process is that images are not only used as an exhibition but for dialogue and cooperation. In this way the two-day conference will actively be looking for novel solutions to current challenges emerging through the visual exercise, which has proven to have significant impact and relevance for people working in current cultural and political contexts as well as in businesses and civil society. Dialogarchitecture is this growing common platform on which participants, speakers, facilitators and experts can work together and experience visual co-creation.

Since 2009, Der Tagesspiegel has had its head-quarters at Askanischer Platz 3 directly by the An-halter Bahnhof, close to Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. In the historical periphery of the old Berlin newspaper quarter, Der Tagesspiegel – in addition to the printed version, now also with an e-paper and Tagesspiegel-Online – faces the challenges of a digital world.
