We will be announcing the programme for the Remediating the Social conference and exhibition here in Edinburgh later this month. It consists of some 40 or so conference presenters (a mixture of papers and other forms of presentation) and 16 commissions of new work by artists working with new media and networks, engaging language and the social. The event involves both new media and live forms and will undoubtedly engage issues of relevance to this month's theme on CRUMB. We will make sure CRUMB members are amongst the first know the details.

It has a stated remit of exhibiting from the collection, and the programme "Art in Action" has been chosen by curators from Live Art, Film, and Education. There is new commissioned work, but also exhibits such as Suzanne Lacey's Crystal Quilt project which is displayed as documentation. Tate also has a day-conference on "Materialising the Social"  http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern-tanks/conference/insideoutside-materialising-social

Does Live Art offer useful examples of how new media can be materialised and live on in exhibitions? Is new commissioning a way to make up for the fact that exhibiting from an archive is "only documentation'?   There must be good new media examples out there of solutions to these problems? Bring these examples to the list!
