During the conversation, including the greetings to the audience; a personal introduction to the historicity and situated-ness of success and professionalism; a discussion around case studies from Antwerp and the universe to which you, dear audience member, will contribute.
To ask questions, to question those questions, other forms of research, what are sources? Who are our sources? We discuss the authenticity of artistic success. What about the economy, how do we earn our living? And ultimately come to a goal, because what is it that we want?
Where and When: 19:00 h at Campus Sint Lucas Antwerpen, Van Schoonbekestraat 143, 2018 Antwerpen.
