Symposium: Towards a flexible future Managing time-based media artworks in collections
The Art Gallery of New South Wales (Australia) will be holding a half day symposium: Towards a Flexible Future, managing time-based media artworks in collections on 4th June 2019, 8:30am – 1:15pm. Today digital technologies are so embedded in our daily lives that the rapid rate in which they develop often goes unnoticed. What does such intense and ongoing technological change mean for artists and art museums, where the notions of permanence and perpetuity have long reigned supreme? Featuring presentations from conservators and curators from the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Tate, London, as well as Australian artists, this symposium sets out to explore what it means to collect, display, preserve and make time-based media artworks. This symposium brings attention to the significant risk of loss, of both artworks and art history, that the sector faces without imminent institutional change. It argues for the importance of media arts and its future in Australian collections, examining how museums can best support contemporary art practice in all its forms. Speakers include: Carolyn Murphy, head of conservation, Art Gallery of New South Wales Justin Paton, head of international art, Art Gallery of New South Wales Anneke Jaspers, curator of contemporary art, Art Gallery of New South Wales Louise Lawson, conservation manager, Tate, London Bernice Murphy, curator of contemporary art, Art Galery of New South Wales (1979-1983) and curator, chief curator, then director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (1984–1998) Stephen Jones, artist, technician and author Daniel von Sturmer, artist Agatha Gothe Snape, artist Tickets are available here: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/calendar/towards-flexible-future/ [AGNSW] Asti Sherring Time-Based Art Conservator ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Art Gallery Road The Domain Sydney NSW 2000 Australia TELEPHONE: 9225 1860 www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au<http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au> This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
