Within the framework of the exhibition Ambition d’art, the Institut d’art contemporain is organising the Ambition d’art seminar on 30 and 31 May 2008; this will assemble artists, critics, historians, philosophers and managers of European structures. With the 30th anniversary of the Institute coming up, the seminar will examine what should be passed on, both in the hinging of the artistic and the economic at the European scale and in the change in evaluation criteria.
