Artists & archives : a Pacific Standard Time Symposium [videorecording] / [symposium organized by the Getty Research Institute in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Art.].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/771097989

The recording captures a panel of artists and scholars as they explore the ways contemporary artists incorporate archives into their work. In recent decades, artists have become increasingly interested in archives both as inspiration and as an artistic medium. Accumulating and sorting, the same impulses that drive the creation of archives, feed the process of making assemblages and collages. Conceptual and performance art continue to blur the line between art and documentation. Also many artists draw on the archive to revisit and reenact earlier works. This symposium considers how archives not only trace the creative process but also become part of that process and even of the work itself. "Artists and Archives" is presented in conjunction with "Greetings from L.A.: Artists and Publics, 1950-1980," a Pacific Standard Time exhibition rooted in the archival holdings of Getty Research Institute's Special Collections.
