From the 26th – 29th September one of the major European contemporary art fairs viennacontemporary will be taking place in Marx Halle, Vienna.
This year we are introducing a new dimension – Conference Culture 5.0, which will be a series of professional debates exploring boundaries of contemporary culture and its influence on business, science, technologies and society development.
Within the panel discussion «Culture as a Boost for Public and Private Development» we will focus on development of regions and territories through collaboration with cultural institutions and will answer the question, «why cultural activities and integration of cultural infrastructure is the winning strategy for progress purposes». Among the themes that will be in the limelight are: best practices of integration of culture into local development projects, different aspects of local communities’ involvement in designing art projects.
