On April 21 in St. Petersburg, I’ll be presenting a talk titled “The Art of Contemporary Entrepreneurship” as a part of the Russian-German Chamber of Commerce Week 2025 at the Goethe-Institute Library.
Art is one of the ways we reflect and interpret reality. If we look closely, it reveals profound connections between significant works of art, economic trends, and contemporary anthropology. In this sense, art becomes a powerful tool for forecasting the future.
We’ll explore
- How do iconic artworks express entrepreneurial trends?
- Can they serve as indicators of economic shifts?
- Why does art outperform macroeconomics in predicting the future?
- What is the role of entrepreneurial esthetics, and why is cultivating esthetic intelligence so important?
I’ll be joined by two outstanding speakers:
David Brown — industrial designer, entrepreneur, founder of SOYUZ Microphones, and musician.
Sergey Khelmyanov — architect, educator, and design theorist.
