21ST CENTURY ART COLLECTION
EXPERIMENTA FORUM ON 21ST CENTURY ART COLLECTION
Experimenta and ABaF are presenting a free forum on 21st Century Art Collection: collecting and investing in Contemporary Media Arts. A panel of experts including artists, gallery directors, advisors and collectors will talk about the benefits, pleasures and pitfalls of collecting video and interactive media art and offer practical advice regarding the exhibition and storage of works. The forum is for artists and those interested in knowing about: contemporary media arts – what it is and who is making it; investment opportunities – the value of media art now and in the future; caring for artworks and collections – archiving, storage, formats and obsolescence; displaying media art at home and at the office; interactive work – hardware, software and maintenance. Participants will gain an insight into why people collect, how they select works and artists and how they manage their collections.
At the Arts Centre, Theatres Building, ANZ Pavilion (Level 8), St Kilda Road, Melbourne, 1.30pm Saturday 25 August.
