VIP guest at 'The Talk'
'The Talk' is an exhibition that opens with a discussion about the autonomy of art on the one side and the need for the art world to start a dialogue with society on the other. The subject of the discussion comes from two texts: 'The life of art', written by former Secretary of the Rotterdam Council for Arts and Culture Hugo Bongers and the article 'Let them know how much art costs' in NRC Handelsblad (january 3th 2013) by Arjo Klamer (professor of the Economics of Art and Culture at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands).
Kees Vrijdag (advisor of the Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce and winner of the Rotterdam Marketing Award) will be chairman and Hugo Bongers will be present as expert and speaker. I was invited by one of the exhibiting artists (thank you very much for the invitation Auli De!) to take part in the discussion as one of the VIP guests.
