Reflections on the creation, examination and dissemination of arts organisations’ archives.
1 July 2013, White Cube Gallery, Bermondsey SE1 3TQ
Many arts organisations are interested in locating and exploring their archival heritage. What are the driving forces behind this interest? How much archive material survives, where and in what condition? What can archives tell us about the history of these organisations and how important are they to their contemporary activities? This study day aims to explore these questions, providing reflections and case studies from academics, curators, artists and archivists.
