On 8 April, we will welcome Cornelius Tittel, editor-in-chief of the art magazine BLAU INTERNATIONAL and creative director of the daily newspaper Die Welt and the weekly newspaper Welt am Sonntag to Vienna for an evening conversation with Phileas director Margherita Belcredi on art journalism.
As part of our Art Writing Programme, Tittel will speak about the development of BLAU INTERNATIONAL, reflect on his experience in cultural journalism, and offer his perspective on Austria’s art and cultural scene.
Tittel began his journalistic career in 1998 at Groove, a magazine focused on electronic music and club culture. Starting in 2000, he hosted the Jazzanova Radio Show for three years on RBB, WDR, and Radio Bremen. In 2003, he joined the culture section of the daily newspaper taz. From 2004 to 2006, he worked as a culture editor at Welt am Sonntag. In 2007, Florian Illies appointed him editor-in-chief of the art magazine Monopol. In 2010, Tittel returned to Axel Springer SE, where he became head of the feuilleton and deputy editor-in-chief of the WELT Group. Since April 2015, he has been the founding editor-in-chief of BLAU INTERNATIONAL as well as Creative Director of Die Welt and Welt am Sonntag. Since 2020, BLAU INTERNATIONAL has been published twice a year in English.
The event will be in German.
