An archival impulse (Art forum)
No full textThis special, extended art forum has been organised to accompany the exhibition, An Archival Impulse, which will open in the Plimsoll Gallery on the same evening at 5.30pm.
The exhibition includes works by Brook Andrew, Gerrard Dixon, Ross Gibson & Kate Richards, Susan Hiller, Vid Ingelevics, Jacob Leary, Nancy Mauro-Flude, Milan Milojevic, Elisabeth Redmond, Claudia Terstappen.
Seminar Speakers include Exhibition curators: Dr Brigita Ozolins, Dr Ruth Frost & Elisabeth Redmond Artists: Gerrard Dixon, Vid Ingelevics, Jacob Leary, Nancy Mauro-Flude & Kate Richards with Guest speakers: Dr Wendy Garden & Netty Gibson.

Foster argues that this archival impulse is underscored, not by a typically postmodern sense of trauma about the past, but by an almost utopian longing to ‘recoup failed visions in art, literature and everyday life…’
The seminar will feature short presentations by the curators, many of the artists in the exhibition, and guest speakers, who each reflect on the archive in different ways
