<Art & Idea><Values>
ART&IDEA is dedicated to the following values:Connecting different worlds
ART&IDEA is passionate about connecting different worlds, whether it means geographically or in regard to disciplines. We fluently speak the languages of art, architecture and design as well as business and politics. Our core competency is to bridge these sometimes very disparate worlds effectively and to the benefit of all parties involved.
Crossing borders
ART&IDEA feels very strong about the international scope and multicultural aspects of its assignments and networks. Founded in Mexico City and New York and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, ART&IDEA has conceived and managed projects in Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Mexico, the USA, Germany, Spain, Japan, China; and just recently in Serbia, in the context of Flow – Festival of Culture and Science - reuniting some of the most beautiful minds from 10 states in the Danube region.
Achieving the impossible
ART&IDEA appreciates tough challenges, strict deadlines and tight budgets and drives on solving its customers most difficult missions, whether it is successfully executing Austria’s Expo 2005 World Fair Japan participation within only sixteen months, building an artificial island on the river Mur with Vito Acconci or opening the first private not for profit exhibition space in the historic centre of Mexico City.
We love the artists we work with
ART&IDEA follows the mindset and enjoys the dialogue with some of the most challenging artists, architects and designers that live today. We deeply respect their thinking, work and way of life and do everything to support their creative process and defend their artistic freedom.
Meaning is more than money
ART&IDEA gets excited about new ideas, visionary passions and organizational challenges. Our first thoughts are always centred around the question if we can realize a great project together – with lots of enthusiasm and the freedom to move. Only then do we talk budgets – and keep them, whether it is the production budget of less than Euro 30k for a special edition or more than 26 millions for World Fair projects.
