Description

Presented by Carnegie Museum of Art, "A Collection of Misfits:  Time-Based Media and the Museum" is a two-day symposium designed to encourage discourse about the practical and philosophical issues of building, maintaining, exhibiting, and preserving time-based media art collections. Bringing together professionals from all points along the media continuum-artists, archivists, curators, conservators, academics, and media archaeologists-this symposium addresses the opportunities and challenges of working with time-based media. From well-established museums to independent projects, from physical galleries to digital spaces, the symposium seeks out the sites where time-based media resides, with an eye toward innovative approaches in traditional and non-traditional venues alike.

 The Misfits symposium is supported by a grant from the A.W. Mellon Foundation. To register and for more information, including a preliminary program, please visit:  http://www.cmoa.org/misfits/ (opens in a new window)
