For those of you attending the College Art Association's Annual Conference this week in New York City, Art Spaces Archives Project (AS-AP) isANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y.—Art Spaces Archives Project (AS-AP) announces a panel discussion entitled “Oral Histories and the Archive,”to be held at the College Art Association’s 99th Annual Conference on Wed. February 9th, 2011, from 12:30-2:00 p.m. at the Hilton New York, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY in the Gibson Room, 2nd Floor.
Over the past seven years Art Spaces Archives Project (AS-AP) has presented panels at the annual College Art Association Conference that have addressed contemporary art related archives by investigating institutional models and identities, institutional holdings, and the organizational histories of living and defunct alternative arts spaces. Transcripts of each of the panels can be accessed from the Resources section of the as-ap.org site, http://as-ap.org/caa-conferences
As part of its mission to document the history of alternative art spaces, AS-AP has been commissioning the production of oral history interviews with the founders, former and current directors, and curators of significant alternative art spaces throughout the United States: http://as-ap.org/oral-histories Oral and video history interviews have been used as key research and documentation tools within art history and its related disciplines as a means of capturing first-person accounts of specific events, individuals, institutions and organizations. Through a first-person narrative, oral and video histories in many ways complement, expand, challenge and periodically contradict historical narratives found within archives.
This year’s panel will investigate oral history initiatives,
programs, and methodologies from the perspectives of the art museum,
the artist's estate, and the curator. Each panelist will provide an
overview of the ways they have created, commissioned, or used oral
histories, and the relationship between oral histories as an archival
resource, a documentation tool, and a cultural and historical record.
Panelists include Michelle Elligott, Museum Archivist
at MoMA; Sandra Q. Firmin, Curator, University at
Buffalo Art Galleries; and Pamela Sharp, Artist/ Oral
Historian and the Executive Director of the Estate of Willoughby
Sharp. The panel will be moderated by
Ann Butler,
Project Director of AS-AP, and Director of the Library and Archives at
the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.
