Joachim Sartorius, Director of Berlin festival, held a lecture on Megatrend University regarding current artistic flows in Berlin: “Berlin – A Mecca for contemporary Arts?”
Joachim Sartorius is an Academic and an accomplished German poet. He studied and obtained a PHD in Law and Political Sciences in Munich, Paris and London, servedas a Diplomat in New York, Istanbul, Prague and Nicosia. He also works as a long-term Director of Goethe Institute and he is actual Director of Berlin Festival.On March 6, Sartorius held a lecture entitled “Berlin – A Mecca for contemporary Arts?” on the Megatrend University. On this occasion, an exhibition space dedicated to the Students and Professors of Faculty of Arts and Design at Megatrend University was
inaugurated. As regards the topic of his lecture, Sartorius says: “Berlin has always had the potential to create myths out ofopposites that are colliding here quite openly. It is a cosmopolitan and a provincial town, profuse and austere at the same time; it is Atlantis with a hot dog stand. In comparison with previous periods, there are more lifestyles visible in Berlin today, a multitude of various ways of life. This is, in my opinion, a characteristic of cosmopolitan, urban society”.
This lecture of Dr. Sartorius reminds us of a time before World War II, when Berlin was an artistic epicentre, a time when expressionism, avant-garde theatre and film flourished, and new movements of musical expression were conceived.
From the Nazis to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city was closed and dead forarts. Only from the nineties has It started recuperating – says ProfessorSartorius – in the last 16 years it has become a Mecca of art and artists.”
