Exhibition Remuneration Right in Europe

On the Move — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 17:11:29 +0000

The issue of exhibition remuneration has been an important topic for artists’ associations throughout Europe for years.

In November 2018, a symposium was organised on the subject by Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste (IGBK)*, the IAA Europe, the German collecting society VG Bild-Kunst, and the association European Visual Artists (EVA).

At the symposium an exchange took place on national and regional remuneration models that have already been successfully put into practice. In addition, current guidelines and campaigns were presented.

It was also an important goal to make policy and administration at EU level aware of the subject of exhibition remuneration and to draw attention to the ‘equity gap’ that exists in the visual arts.

Participants also received an extensive brochure with inputs from 12 European countries as well as from the USA and Australia on national and regional regulations and campaigns for exhibition remuneration to artists.

On November 4, 2016 the IGBK (International association for visual arts in Germany) and IAA Europe (International Association of Art-Europe) cooperated on an international workshop on social security and artists’ mobility in Europe, that took place in the Haus der Kulturverbände in Berlin. The event followed up on a workshop that was initially organised by the IGBK in 2010 in cooperation with the representation of the European Commission in Germany. The central questions to be explored in 2016 questions were: What are the obstacles faced by artists working internationally within Europe today with regard to social security insurance issues? To what extent have the information systems for freelance artists in Europe improved over the last years? National Committees of the International Association of Art (IAA) Europe, service points*, European networks, social security organisations, the EU Commission, the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and further experts took part. Furthermore the focus for the over 60 participants from 21 European countries was put on the exchange of current questions with regards to social security systems for visual artists on the national level.
