Archiving: Theory and Practice
From www.art-omma.org Issue 10
Edited by Nayia Yiakoumaki
The notion of the archive and archiving and the response of artists to the methodologies instructed by these notions are the principal concerns of a current research which focuses upon the institutional archives and their curatorial potential. For this issue Art-Omma made a call for essays to authors whom their engagement with art is from different standpoints. All the authors have dealt with the notion of the archive and have investigated this area either through theoretic work, art practices or curatorial projects.

The Archival Impulse: Artists and Archives
A Workshop at the Tate Modern in London
Bringing together leading artists, archivists and theorists, this workshop explores why the archive has become a central issue in contemporary artistic strategy and examines how the archive has been figured, contested and constructed by artists. It will also examine a range of theoretical thinking and critical engagement with the past in order to provide a creative space for the future.
