TodaysArt Festival 2010

TodaysArt 2010 / International Festival Beyond Art / http://todaysart.nl/

## About
TodaysArt has, since its inception, been focused on amplifying the new and mapping out barely existent forms of - and transdisciplinary relations between - art, music and technology which are relevant today. TodaysArt 2010 will explore the core concepts of the festival and its possibilities in new ways as it takes over The Hague’s city centre for its sixth edition. The weekend of September 24 and 25 will feature two days and nights of concerts, performances, club nights, public space interventions, exhibitions, presentations and actions exploring interlocking themes through multiple focus points. Some of the issues and topics that will be confronted in the 2010 festival are: transparency, public space and architecture, infrastructure, city branding and the relevance of local, national and international cultural networks.
