Contemporary Art: Who Cares? come and gone but not forgotten |
 |
 |
|
The long awaited international symposium Contemporary Art: Who Cares? has come and gone, but will not be forgotten. For three days the Royal Tropical Institute (Dutch acronym KIT) in Amsterdam was a buzz with over 550 professionals from 32 countries. Participants were inspired by the plenary lectures, joined discussions on topical issues, worked together in practical workshops, gained new knowledge at the poster exhibition and, last but not at least, forged new professional relationships. Many found themselves in familiar surroundings as the KIT was also the location of the 1997 symposium Modern Art: Who Cares?
