The symposium "Artist Meets Archive - Theory and Practice of the Archive", which takes place within the framework of Photoszene United and was conceived in connection with the exhibition series "Artist Meets Archive" of the International Photoszene Cologne, will deal over two days with a spectrum of artistic and theoretical positions that have been developed on the photographic archive, its structure, its function and its aesthetics. The contributions on the first day from the disciplines of art and media studies as well as ethnology will deal with various positions ranging from local intervention to documentary film. On the second day, the artists invited to the "Artist Meets Archive #2" 2020/2021 program will present their projects and provide insights into their one-year development process, in which they have gained their very own view of the respective archives. The artist talks will conclude with a panel discussion to compare the respective positions and interventions.
In principle, it can be assumed that artistic access to the photographic archive should be regarded as a form of research in its own right, and that this often brings aspects and facets of a photographic archive into focus that would otherwise go unnoticed or unheeded. The special potential of the artistic approach to photographic archive holdings and the question of which perspectives on the archive are conveyed through them is therefore at the center of the contributions and discussions.
Supported by the dive in. Program for Digital Interactions of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) in the NEUSTART KULTUR program.
Artist Meets Archive #1
PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS: ARCHIVES AND TOOLS
A symposium was held by the KHM, the Internationale Photoszene Köln and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie (DGPh).
Over two days, the symposium dealt with questions about the materiality of photography. Methods of (post)photographic engagement with the medium, such as virtual reality, 3D photography or augmented reality, were presented. Structural and institutional conditions for the transfer of photographic archives into a digital future were discussed, and curatorial and artistic strategies for their activation were examined.
