- Summary:
- Walt Disney's Vision wurde Wirklichkeit: Eine Kunsthochschule vor den Toren von Los Angeles. Eröffnet vor 50 Jahren, war das California Institute of the Arts lange krisengeschüttelt, bevor Steven D. Lavine es zu finanzieller Blüte und internationalem Ansehen führte. Heute ist die Kunsthochschule eine Wiege von Oscar- und Pulitzer-Preisträgern, von Mellon- und Guggenheim-Fellows – ein Hotspot US-amerikanischer Kreativität. In tiefgründigen Gesprächen mit Jörn Jacob Rohwer erzählt Lavine erstmals seine persönliche Geschichte, spricht über Kulturpolitik, Philanthropie, Avantgarde, seinen Lebensmittelpunkt Los Angeles. Von Selbstzweifeln und der Lust am Scheitern angespornt, erweist er sich als feinsinniger Denker, Visionär und transatlantischer Mittler zwischen den Welten von Kunst, Erziehung und Politik.
- Walt Disney's vision for an art school located before the gates of Los Angeles became a reality: Opened 50 years ago, the California Institute of the Arts had long been in crisis, before Steven D. Lavine led it to financial prosperity and international acclaim. Today, CalArts is the cradle of many Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize winners, of Mellon and Guggenheim Fellows – a hotspot of American creativity. In personal conversations with Jörn Jacob Rohwer, Lavine tells his life story for the first time, talking about cultural politics, philanthropy, the avant-garde and Los Angeles at the centre of his life. Spurred on by self-doubts and a desire to learn from failure, he proves to be a sensitive thinker, visionary and transatlantic mediator between the worlds of art, politics and education.
