----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I post this conference proposal to determine if others would be interested in attending such a session or if it may be incorporated as part of another proposal. Art Librarians & Artist Interviews In order to document transitory art forms such as performance art, oral interviews can provide an important supplement to audio-visual recordings and photography. No single method is able to capture the ephemeral nature of these arts, but interviews are an important way to document an artist's perspective. This panel would consider how the art library can productively incorporate and encourage interviews as an important record of transitory art forms. Questions which might be raised include; How should interviews be effectively archived? What role might the librarian play in conducting the interviews? What methods can be used in acquring interviews? And, how should interviews be catalogued? These are just some of the questions this panel will address.
