The Weak and the Strong Term “European Arts Project” – Potential and Lack of Self-Consciousness within Cultural Structures on the Continent

The term “European Arts Projects“ sounds credible – in Europe. It is a promise and a wish, but it could be argued that until now, it is not a term with any real meaning behind it. Reflecting on the term, one might think: different artists from different countries come together from across the continent, share their ideas, exchange their knowledge and create new aesthetic experiences. This fascinating idea appears in political speeches and on the websites of many art foundations and funding programs all over Europe. It is also an important approach of the cultural programs of the European Union.
