Muziekgebouw Amsterdam
Great!
Gustav Mahler would have once said to Arnold Schönberg: I don’t understand anything of your music, but I know that it is great art and therefore I offer you my support. But what is great art? How can we measure and recognize greatness? Is it about quality or quantity? Who determines what is great art? Is it the public, the art critic, the artist, the subsidy provider, the heirs? Do contemporary artists still strive towards greatness? Does the public still search for greatness in art? And if so, where can we find it? Prominent representatives from the world of art and art criticism discussed these matters after a masterclass of balletdanser Damian Woetzel.
