Art Theory Summer Camp: The Archive
This summer Art Theory Summer Camp will explore the idea of the archive. What is an archive? Who chooses what is saved? Where is it kept? How do artists think about, comment on, or critique the notion of the archive? In what ways does the idea of an archive, which denotes an entity, falsely present ideas of a static set or a set of the whole. These are some of the questions we well examine through the process of reading articles and discussing them. Below is a list of articles and our reading schedule.
