You are cordially invited to attend the lecture \u201cBees in Art\u201d by Christiane Erharter on Tuesday, June 20th<\/sup> at 6.00 pm at the P74 Center and Gallery.<\/strong><\/p>\n The contribution of bees to ecological balance and food security is indisputable. Over the last few years, more and more bees have been reared and cultivated in urban areas. ERSTE Foundation joined the growing community of urban bee-keepers with its own beehives, one located beneath the Secession\u2019s golden cupola in the city centre of Vienna and another close to ERSTE Foundation\u2019s new offices at Erste Campus. Since its inception in 2003, when ERSTE Foundation evolved out of Erste Oesterreichische Spar-Casse, the first Austrian savings bank, the bee an emblem with profound symbolic significance \u2013 has been in the Foundation\u2019s logo. The bee has been the symbol of the savings banks and represented their philosophy of serving the common good for many decades and in many countries. The collector of honey signifies more than financial savings: it has developed into a culturally significant symbol and embodies the idea that social creatures should care for each other. In this presentation I will focus on the bee as a symbol for capitalism, private property and community. I will also present art works in which the bee serves as an icon.<\/p>\n Christiane Erharter<\/strong> is a curator and project manager based in Vienna.
