All This Stuff: Archiving the Artist

From their different viewpoints artists, archivists and art


historians reflect on the ways that artists and archivists
deal with all this stuffand how artists manage and relate
to their own archives. Archiving the Artist provides artists
and researchers with valuable insights into the archival
process: it explores how an archivist or researcher can
approach an artist archive in a non-traditional way. The
experiences described by the contributors offer a practical
understanding of the challenges facing researchers working
with artistsarchives and will help to raise awareness among
artists of the longer-term value of their archival material.
It also looks at the unpredictable ways in which the archive
may be recontextualised, explored and interpreted in the
future; offers archivists practical information; and asks
artists to comment on their experience of being archived, or
how they use archives creatively.

The book breaks new ground in the field of archive theory,


documenting the innovative ways in which the arts are
challenging the distinctions, processes and crossovers
between artworks and archives. This critical reexamination
exemplifies how the field of art archiving is changing theory
and practice and our understanding of what an archive is, or
could be.

Contributors range from Penelope Curtis (Director of Tate


Britain) to artist Bruce McLean to the John Latham Archive
archivist who is seeking to catalogue Lathams work in
accordance with his theories. Interviews with Barbara Steveni
and Gustav Metzger also feature.
