Course taught in English
Go to class group/s: 31
Arts and economics have often been conceived as irreconcilable. The reality couldn’t be more different. The cultural sector and the art market have to cope with a set of paradoxes (e.g. economic vs. symbolic performance, competition vs. collaboration, exploration vs. exploitation, creativity vs. efficiency), managers need to be aware of in order to cope with them and manage cultural institutions. Each paradox is examined through a theoretical lens and a real national or international case and / or a guest speaker from museums, heritage, libraries, theatres, opera houses, art fairs, galleries and auction houses.
