Fellow Listservers,
As part of my graduate thesis I am exploring the
registration of installation art, especially in
reference to work with new media content (video,
digital/computational components, etc.) My major
concern is how to document the artist's intent so that
subsequent re-installations remain true to their
original ideas even when certain physical and spatial
variables change.
To that end, I was wondering if any of you would be
willing to share anecdotes about how your museum has
dealt with the registration of new media installation
art. Do you use written artist questionnaires to
document the artist's intent? Interviews? On-site,
video-taped walk-throughs? etc.
Thanks in advance and please feel free to forward this
on to colleagues.
