Welcome to the year 2000 Idriart ART/BUSINESS INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
in Slovenia. An exciting and unique opportunity you don't want to miss!
WHY ART AND BUSINESS ? DO WE HAVE SOME REAL EXPECTATIONS THAT INSPIRED
CREATIVITY AND VISION WILL DRIVE THE NEW ECONOMY TO A SUSTAINABLE
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD ORGANISM ? CAN WE PERHAPS FIND SOME POTENT
TRANSFORMATIVE TOOLS IN THE PROCESSES OF ART ?

Welcome to the Castle Borl, Slovenia, the ancestral home of legendary
Knight Parsifal. In this timeless, archetypal story we hear how Parsifal
early in his life found the Grail Castle for the first time; better: the
CASTLE found HIM, and because he didn't ask the question he was thrown
out. Years of search, struggle and inner growth followed, and then he
found the castle again and became the King of Grail.- So it is with our
relationship to the principles of creative Arts.
In "indigenous" cultures there was no word for Art...because of her total
presence in the whole of societal organism. Then "progress" of modern
world has gradually marginalized Arts to entertainment. Now we have
"working" life and "leisure" life. But, as crisis of meaning is mounting,
we are learning to formulate questions about true interdisciplinary,
integrational role of Art and....there might again be the Castle on the
horizon ?
Can artistic creativity become a competence in business [working-] life?
We expect every participant in Castle Borl to be learner and contributor.
Beginning: July 12th at 6PM and the end on 16th late morning. Three
