A major international conference at Tate Modern (18–20 November 2015) focused on the intersection of media art and technological change over time. How is this shifting the way museums operate and how conservation works?
Following the format of the highly successful Object in Transition conference in 2008 this event will explore – through papers, panel discussions, demonstrations and dialogues – how the field is adapting and responding to these new forms of artistic practice, and how emerging modes of collaboration between artists, conservators, art historians, technical experts and curators can help advance the field.
Session Nam June Paik & Fluxus: Object, Archive, and Performance in Paik’s Multimedia is now online, with presentations from Hanna Hölling (Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor, Bard Graduate Centre, New York and Max Planck Institute for the History of Knowledge, Berlin), Michael Mansfield (Curator of Film and Media Arts, Smithsonian American Art Museum), and Sook‐Kyung Lee (Research Curator, Tate Research Centre: Asia‐Pacific, Tate).
