ART & LUXURY – One course, 18 days, 7 weeks.

Some questions we dive into are:

How do new luxury emerge?

How do Art and Economy interact?

Is luxury inspired by art and artists?

How can art influence capitalism in good ways?

How close is Managing and Curating in today´s worlds?

What have experts from Bain and Deloitte in common with Kant or Beuys?

Does the art connection open up to a re-designing of luxury – a re-definition of luxury to fit our deeper human needs?

Is art pushing luxury in the philosophical direction that helps us survive, hope and open up to life in new ways? In directions different from when luxury is energized by wealth? How could we make this visible?
