dear Aacorn community!
I would like to nominate Mikael Scherdin and Ivo Zander for Aacorn
membership.
Mikael Scherdin is a long-time art insider turned management scholar
- he founded the nonTVTVstation and ran it for 10 years receiving
numerous grants and exhibiting in great places from Australia to
Sweden! He's currently finishing his doctoral thesis with Ivo Zander
at University of Uppsala in Sweden.
Ivo Zander is professor of management at the University of Uppsala
and published extensively on entrepreneurship and innovation.
Together, Mikael and Ivo organized a conference on Entrepreneurship
on the Art Arena in Stockholm two weeks ago: an inspiring discussion
with Swedish politicians and academics on the role of process-based,
participative art in the institutional context - particularly
regarding funding and interaction with organizations.
Their project of creating a contemporary space for art that connects
art funding institutions and promoters with creators of real-time
artistic manifestations should be most fascinating to follow, I can't
wait to hear more.
warm regards
stefan
