Those Weird Subsidies!Discussion with artist Ian Haig + Deputy Consul General of the Netherlands, Hans van den Dool Tuesday, March 25, 2008 / 7:30 PM We hear about it all the time. What's up with those privileged artists in far away countries whose art-making is largely underwritten by government sponsored subsidies -- be they individual grants or project grants. How does that work? Does it make for good art? Does it make for happy artists? Happy collectors? Join us in this unscientific sociological cultural economic investigation. Current artist in residence Ian Haig is the recipient of a plethora of art project funding over the past 20 years. From numerous discussions about the relationship between art and funding, Ian has been cornered into sharing with us his candid views and the uncensored version of what this does to art production, and the pros and cons of being a bona fide funded Aussie artist. Hans van den Dool is Deputy Consul General of the Netherlands in Los Angeles since 2003. As both Consul for Economic Affairs and Consul for Cultural Affairs, Hans actively promotes the synergy between thses two tasks, forging links between the creative industries and the world of art. A sociologist and political scientist, he received his higher education by the State University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, and the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium. |
