»The benefits of the archive« round table discussion
Wednesday 3 July 2019, 7:30 - 11 pm
Location: Kunsthaus-Erfurt, Michaelisstraße 34, 99048 Erfurt
As treasure troves of material art, archives are consistently the point of departure for artistic research. These constantly evolving worlds of objects see stories and history rolled into one. We are using a round table to establish a dialogue on how artists access these archives and what benefits they offer. All attendees are invited to join the discussion. The round table participants are Dr. Sabine Folie of the Valie Export Center Linz, Andrea Karle (art historian and curator, Weimar), David Ashley Kerr, PhD (curator, Weimar and Helsinki), Dr. Christiane Wolf (Modernist Archive, Weimar) and the exhibition artists.
