Unassembed Information: Towards an archive preview 8 July 2010 In partnership with The National Museum Cardiff/ Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd we invite you to celebrate the life and work of seminal artist Tamara Krikorian � artist, curator, writer, animateur. Tamara was a pioneering video artist who went on to become a distinguished curator of public art in Wales, and was a huge supporter of g39's activities. As a curator she brought insight into artists� motivations as well as the importance of experimental work. Krikorian�s practice has been described as ��exploring the blurred edges between representation and the real; the static and the moving�� Conference To celebrate her career, a unique one-day conference will be held at the National Museum Cardiff/ Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd on Thursday 8 July 2010. Unassembled Information will be chaired by Heike Roms and co-convened by Michael Tooby and Ivor Davies, and welcomes contributors from across the UK who will be discussing three periods of Tamara's career: her early work in the opera, in writing and in arts administration (c. mid 60s � late 70s); as a pioneering video artist in Scotland and beyond (c. mid 70s � mid 80s); and leading a new agency for public art in Wales (c. mid 80s onwards). Following the conference, you are invited to g39 for an early evening reception and to view an archive of Tamara�s work. Exhibition Marking the first anniversary of her death, Unassembled Information continues at g39 with an exhibition of video works and archival material from Tamara�s practice. In presenting this provisional archive the audience has the opportunity to experience the �edges between representation and the real�. The archive will include rare printed materials, a selection of her single-screen moving image works, and her seminal piece Vanitas. Both the archival work and actual work lie in that blurred space between representation and reality, they both animate the �real� person and the �represented� artist in our minds in very different ways. Conference: Thursday 8 July 11.00-4.00 at National Museum Cardiff/ Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd followed by an early evening reception at g39 launching a provisional archive exhibition (continues to 24 July) For more information about the conference or to book a place please contact 029 2057 3148 or [email protected] |
