Kuenstlerhaus,
Vienna New cultural networks as a rule follow the routes of trade and the flow of capital. Networks that develop along these lines, represent both opportunities and pitfalls for artists, academics and activists. The symposium reflects on the specific mechanisms and interfaces of private and institutional routes of travel and trade, asking questions like: Where are efficient political alliances still possible that go beyond these aesthetic alliances and their turning "the other" into a commodity? The topics of the symposium range from tourism as an old and new "nomadic avant-garde", to the global marketing of goods in the light of cultural differences, and transfers which currently take place in the arts and the fields of cultural theory and activism.
