WIMMER’S QUARTERLY
Or: Could it be that the architecture of cultural institutions is read as a cultural policy program, deciding on access and exclusion of the users?
The Society of Friends of Music as main supporter of the Musikverein is celebrating its 200th anniversary. Just at the end of the Napoleonic wars, this private initiative of the Viennese bourgeoisie started its task to “bring the classical works on stage”, thus compensating its political weakness. Besides the concerts, a music school was started, later on developing into the conservatoire (Konservatorium Wien University).

AEMS – Arts Education Monitoring System
The AEMS project currently investigates the social and economic situation of educators in cultural institutions. As instrument two questionnaires have been developed which are now in a pre-test phase. We invite educators and managers of cultural institutions to participate in the survey and win a trip to Vienna for our final conference on 15 February 2013. Details for the conference will be announced in January.
