Dear CRUMB list readers
I trust you've all had a good summer (as the rain lashes the windows
here in the Northeast!)
The entire CRUMB contingent has just returned from Belfast where we
ran workshops as part of ISEA 2009. We are compiling the
documentation of those workshops and will post it on the site
shortly. We were very pleased with the turnout and the chance to meet
new colleagues and plan new initiatives. A special thank you to our
hosts for our tea-time discussions: Interface Research Center at the
University of Ulster, The Linen Hall Library, and the Golden Thread
Gallery.
We would welcome you to post your reports of highlights from both
ISEA and ARS for those of you there now.
We've also just been signing off the typeset proofs of the book
"Rethinking Curating: Art After New Media" which we have co-authored
and is being published by MIT Press. With any luck it will be out in
time for you to wrap up a copy for your loved one by Valentine's
Day. ;-)
And now to the latest order of business, this September we are
scheduled to have a discussion on the CRUMB list about Real-Time:
Showing Art in the Age of New Media, in the run up to the conference
that CRUMB will be hosting as part of the AND Festival in Liverpool,
on September 24th. http://andfestival.org.uk/siteNorm/programme/
selectedEvent.php?qsSelectedEventId=28
The full line up of speakers and respondents will follow, but for
now, please do register to come to the conference, and feel free to
compile and post your thoughts here on how showing time-based art is
different to showing art objects. We are particularly interested in
gathering first hand curatorial knowledge about how art which uses
the Internet, interactivity, social systems, or real-time computing,
is different from video, live art, or performance.
Cheers from us all,
Sarah
