La conferenza, organizzata dall’associazione dei registrar tedeschi, ha affrontato temi come l’indennità governativa, le opportunità e le sfide poste dall’allargamento dell’Unione Europea, la riduzione dei costi nell’organizzazione delle mostre, il lavoro con materiali e oggetti non convenzionali per qualità e dimensione e più in generale con le opere d’arte contemporanea.
