Davide Quadrio participated in the World Art Forum hosted by the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, an inspirational public art museum at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. He led two discussions concerning “The Construction of Identity and Status in Late Antiquity” and “Curating: What can you contribute to a Concept of World Art?” World Art Forum is a new initiative designed to explore major questions and issues in world art and to experiment with ways of sharing the process of learning through encounters with world art leaders.

In May 1997, six months after its establishment, the Prince Claus Fund organized a conference at Paleis Noordeinde to explore its direction and long-term goals. Participating Board Members and international experts, representing diverse backgrounds and disciplines, met to determine the Fund’s focus on supporting cultural activities in countries and regions where it was economically and politically difficult to do so. Now, more than a decade later, the Board feels that it is time for an intensive debate, modelled after the meeting of 1997, to review the Fund’s direction, goals and activities.
The conference will be attended by close to 40 experts, and seven participants were asked beforehand to write a position paper on one of seven topics. The Prince Claus Fund has kindly asked Helmut Anheier to write about relevant issues in the field of culture and development. This call for papers Visions of the Future: New Aspects of Culture and Development will serve as a reference to the writers.
The Prince Claus Fund has identified seven outstanding and overlapping topics to be addressed during the meeting:
Migration and Social and Cultural Integration;
Communication and Cultural Change;
Secularization and Religious Movements;
Development Goals and the Role of Culture;
Post-Cold War Globalization: New Economic Order and its effect on Culture;
Poverty, Migration and Gender, and
Internationalization and the Art World.
The Photograph Preservation Institute (PPI) is be co-directed by Debra Hess Norris, Art Conservation Department Chair and Professor of Photographs at the University of Delaware, and Nora Kennedy, Sherman Fairchild Conservator of Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and adjunct professor in the Conservation Center, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Norris and Kennedy have a combined 45 years of experience in photograph conservation education and training. They have designed and taught workshops around the world and are the directors of the Collaborative Workshops in Photograph Conservation, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation since 1997.
PPI includes lectures, demonstrations, hands-on projects, collection visits, and case studies. Norris and Kennedy will serve as the primary instructors. Invited faculty may include Dr. Bertrand Lavedrine of the Centre de Recherche sur la Conservation des Collections, and Martin Juergens of Germany. Eighteen participants from major private and public collections are attending, representing as wide a range of Middle Eastern countries as possible with a view toward broad dissemination of information. The Arab Image Foundation has identified and solicited important collections in need that have the staffing and resources to participate in this type of training and the capacity to implement and disseminate preservation solutions within their region. The individuals receive some assistance with funding to defray travel costs, and have committed to attending the full two-week session.
