C. SEMINARS/WORKSHOPS/COURSES

C.1) Old versus New
Date: Thursday 15 February 2007
Time: 7.00 - 9.00 pm

What are the implications for commercial films when artists and filmmakers
incorporate archive footage into their work, essentially creating something
new from something old? Despite the fact that archive footage organisations
are increasingly opening up their collections to artist residency
programmes, who actually owns this footage and what are the implications of
presenting work that features archive material, which is then used in a
public setting?

Full info and booking - http://www.own-it.org/events/details/?eventId=193

C.2) Convivencia symposium
Convivencia: A one-day symposium on existing and potential relationships
between documentation and live art practices

3 February 2007 at University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK

The primary aim of this one-day symposium is to open a dialogue around a
range of perspectives on what remains a highly politicised topic of debate
within professional and academic live art contexts. Historically,
performance documentation has often been characterised as an unfaithful
representation of the live art experience. However, in recent years the
relationship between
documentation and live art practices has moved towards reconciliation. The
symposium will critically explore this terrain through a series of
performative and discursive presentations, addressing topics such as digital
online archive databases, the fetishisation of documentation, and the
performance of the past.

Registration is free, but delegate numbers are limited on a first come first
serve basis. For further information on this project please email Dr. Paul
Stapleton: pauljstapleton@...
