In April 1995, the House of World Cultures in Berlin organized the symposium
The Marco Polo Syndrome. Problems of intercultural communication in art theory and curatorial practice.
After the symposium Gerhard Haupt, who developed the idea and the concept, and Bernd M. Scherer, at that time HKW, edited the issue 4/5 1995 of the magazine neue bildende kunst in close cooperation with the publisher. It contains the edited papers of the symposium, as well as further contributions to the topic.
