The INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR NEW MUSIC (IGNM) will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2022/23. On this occasion, the Institute for Musicology and Interpretation Research at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, in cooperation with the Institute for Musicology at the University of Vienna and the Austrian section of the IGNM, is organizing a three-day international symposium (November 8-10, 2023), which is dedicated to the relevance of and how to deal with future plans in the arts.
Against the background of current upheavals and developments of a technical, political and ecological nature, artistic images of the future are diversifying and at the same time under pressure to legitimize themselves. Last but not least, some of them also have a dystopian tone. Utopias and dystopias draw contrasting, yet related, images of the future from the respective historical present. Whether they continue to do this – like the historical avant-gardes in the founding years of the IGNM – with the aim of naming and treating the symptoms of the time, or whether the associated promise of relevance of art has become obsolete is just one of the questions the symposium is dedicated to.
