At the last art KARLSRUHE in spring this year, the ARTIMA art meeting was presented in a fresh new form as a dialogue forum. An enormous success, as Karlheinz Schmid, chief editor of KUNSTZEITUNG and host at the event sponsored by Mannheimer Versicherungen, revealed: 'All the seats in "Foyer Ost" were occupied during the talks of 20 minutes each and many guests were even willing to stand to listen in, so it was a success in every way.' And now the second event is on the horizon, promising to be no less attention-grabbing with well-known artists, such as Jürgen Klauke, Cornelia Schleime, Timm Ulrichs, and enthusiastic brokers, such as Helmut Friedel, Axel Hecht, and Friedhelm Mennekes, airing their views on art and the art business in individual talks. The aspect of diversity served as a guide in selecting the participants whereas profession, experience, and temperament were the criteria for an invitation.
The first round (4 March 2010, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.), "Art for all", revolves around finding out what conditions must exist for contemporary art to arise and how it finds its way to the people. The following day (5 March 2010, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.) looks at "Art above all" and aims to answer the question of art's anchoring within society. The focus is on art itself and, as Schmid notes, on "even more communication work, precisely in view of the current, often confusingly diverse artistic output".
