Emilie Villes will talk about KADIST, an institution of the digital age, and how an institutional archive can be thought of in the 21st Century.
Kadist has had a very systematic approach to archiving in different respects, for its collection and for keeping a live record of its projects, in particular of artists who came through the residency. Not to mention keeping track of projects occurring offsite. The institution was possibly too young to have a critical or curatorial discourse towards this archiving process, to think of it in terms of practice, until a couple of editorial projects, born in the context of celebrating 10 years of Kadist, became a way to address how to tell its story.
