đź“š Dogeared Rubrica | Book of the Week

Working in Art: How To Build A Career In The Art World by Alexandra Steinacker-Clark, published by Ilex Press.

Do you need a “way in” to work in the art world? Is there really only one path into a gallery, a museum, an auction house? And what does a sustainable art career actually look like once you’re past the internship stage?

Working in Art is a practical answer to a question the industry rarely spells out clearly: how do you actually build a career here? For anyone who’s ever felt art world jobs, and the routes into them, are opaque, gatekept, or only ever explained informally over drinks at an opening, this book pushes back. Gently, yet showing many concrete pathways.
We talked a lot about it in our Summer Training, and the book offers you an honest guides and provides you meaningful knowledge through the in depth interview, on what that specific work embeds.

Therefore, if you are at the beginning of your career as an artists, and you will need to include another job within your “portfolio” career, this book, walks you through the many different roles that make up the ecosystem.
The book contains chapters structured around different career pathways in the arts, including Working in Museums, Working in Curating, Working in Art Writing, Working in Art Handling, and many more, bringing together the practitioner conversations from her podcast into a practical guide for anyone seeking to build a career in the arts, or simply understand the sector they work in better.
It also includes non-linear career paths, because that’s still what most of us live.

Dogeared Books by TAATO is our rubrica born from that questions: “Is there a book you’d recommend to me?” Because sharing is caring — we’re opening our bookshelf. 📚

Some books don’t just sit on the shelf. They travel with you, full of highlights and notes, we are happy to 🙏share them with our wonderful community of artists.

Happy to introduce our panelist: Boris Ogura-Maximowitz, who will join our panel discussion on “Sustainability in the Arts”

Considering the ongoing climate crisis and global ecological challenges, the art world is increasingly called upon to engage with key questions surrounding sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Boris Ogura-Maximowitz was born in 1985 in Weissenburg i.Bay. and currently lives and works in Munich. Following his graduation with a diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in 2016, he continued to create and exhibit his own artistic works.

Over the past few years, treibgut has participated in regional and international art formats, including documentafifteen and the Sapporo International Art Festival (SIAF).

“No music on a dead planet.” That is the guiding principle of David Süß, one of the panelists of Sustainability in the Arts.

Considering the ongoing climate crisis and global ecological challenges, the art world is increasingly called upon to engage with key questions surrounding sustainability and environmental responsibility.

💥 On 24 July 2026, as part of the final and open event of the Summer Training we will host a Panel Discussion: “Sustainability in the Arts.”

David SĂĽĂź believes that politics has a responsibility to create the framework and drive the implementation of sustainability within the arts and cultural sector. At the same time, he thinks it is essential that major event organisers and large cultural institutions take responsibility themselves rather than relying solely on political action.
His guiding principle: “No music on a dead planet.”

David also sees culture as having an important role to play as a model for society. He hopes that the conversation about the necessity of living sustainably can be carried into broader public discourse through art and culture, inspiring reflection and encouraging change beyond the cultural sector.

David Süß has served as an honorary city councillor for Bündnis 90/Die Grünen in Munich since 2020, re-elected in 2026, and serves as the party’s cultural policy spokesperson advocating for a free, diverse, and future-proof arts scene. A pioneer of Munich’s club culture since the 1990s, notably at Ultraschall, he later spent many years as managing director of the renowned club Harry Klein, while also being active in networks such as VDMK, DEHOGA, and LiveKomm.

Sustainability played an important role at Harry Klein early on: the club joined the 2015 Clubmob energy-efficiency initiative, encouraged international artists to travel by train instead of flying, and offset its remaining COâ‚‚ emissions in 2018 and 2019 through climate certificates.

Today, David SĂĽĂź brings his experience from cultural policy, club culture, and sustainable transformation into the debate on the future of an ecologically responsible cultural sector.

Sustainability in the Arts: Meet the Speaker

Considering the ongoing climate crisis and global ecological challenges, the art world is increasingly called upon to engage with key questions surrounding sustainability and environmental responsibility.

💥 On 24 July 2026, as part of the final and open event of the Summer Training we will host a Panel Discussion: “Sustainability in the Arts.”

Happy to introduce

As a Project Manager at Bayern Innovativ’s CreativeTechHUB (formerly known as bayernkreativ), Charlotte Stegmayer works at the intersection of culture, creativity, and transformation. In her role, she supports cultural and creative actors in developing future-oriented strategies — with one focus lying on ecological, social, and economic sustainability.
A central part of her work in recent years has been her involvement with bink (Bayerns Initiative fĂĽr nachhaltige Kultur), where she applied the binkCheck sustainability assessment to cultural events and institutions. Through this process, she helped teams understand their current sustainability performance, identify blind spots, and translate insights into concrete, achievable measures.
She also contributes to strengthening the cultural sector’s long-term resilience by developing tools such as the Fördermittelnavigator. This navigator helps creative professionals find suitable funding opportunities more efficiently, empowering them to implement sustainable projects and innovations. For many cultural actors, access to the right funding is the key to turning sustainability ambitions into reality.
On the panel, Charlotte can highlight how sustainability can become a driver of innovation in the arts — not a burden. Her perspective combines practical transformation work, strategic ecosystem thinking, and a deep understanding of the creative industries. She believes that when cultural actors are equipped with the right tools, networks, and knowledge, sustainability becomes a powerful catalyst for artistic and societal change.

✨ She will share the panel with David Süß, Boris Ogura-Maximowitz and Dr. Rainer Kotzian.

Sustainability in the Arts: Meet the Speaker Prof. Rainer Kotzian

Considering the ongoing climate crisis and global ecological challenges, the art world is increasingly called upon to engage with key questions surrounding sustainability and environmental responsibility.

💥 On 24 July 2026, as part of the final and open event of the Summer Training we will host a Panel Discussion: “Sustainability in the Arts.”

Happy to introduce Prof. Rainer Kotzian, President of the Hochschule fĂĽr Musik NĂĽrnberg and Professor of Elemental Music Education.
Prof. Rainer Kotzian brings the perspective of a university leader and music educator working to embed sustainability into the core mission of an arts institution. At the Hochschule fĂĽr Musik NĂĽrnberg, sustainability is understood as a long-term institutional transformation rather than a series of isolated projects, reflected in efforts such as anchoring sustainability as a cross-cutting strategic objective, organizing annual Sustainability Days that generate ideas and collaborations meant to become lasting structural change, integrating sustainability into curricula and artistic practice, developing a permanent Green Office to coordinate initiatives university-wide, and creating participatory opportunities for students and staff to actively help shape sustainable change.

He is an internationally active author, musician and lecturer, and serves on the boards of several foundations, including the Carl Orff Foundation, the Hofmann Hagemann Hildesheimer Foundation and the Bouhon Foundation. As Chair of the Bavarian Association of Universities of the Arts (Verbund Kunsthochschule Bayern), he is committed to the future development of higher arts education. His work bridges artistic practice, music education and university leadership, with a particular focus on innovation, collaboration and sustainable institutional development.

✨ He will share the panel with David Süß, Boris Ogura-Maximowitz and Charlotte Stegmayer — project manager at Bayern Innovativ.
