DESCRIPTION

The speakers will discuss the specifics of selecting, storing, exhibiting, and using video in a museum context.

How is an archival video collection formed? How is it stored and catalogued? What is the fundamental difference between an archive and a collection? Andrei Kachalyan, Head of Garage Media Archive, director Yulia Ovchinnikova, artist Kirill Gluschenko, and curator Elmira Minkina will try to answer these questions and will discuss the nuances of working with video as both an archival material and an object of artistic research.
