An investigation of the creative potential of documents and other archival records for artists

What is this course about?

The archive has become an important site of artistic enquiry over the last decade with compelling artworks being created in and with archives. Archives have provided resources for artists to engage with major historical themes as well as the question of who has been ignored or forgotten in this important zone of public memory. The archival exhibition now forms a mainstay of programming in arts institutions. Counter-archives are also in formation, often to contest lacunae in understanding. 

In this series of classes, you will have opportunities to explore practical, conceptual and ethical issues raised by endeavour of making art in the archive. You will debate the merits of different artistic and curatorial practices and you will meet archivists who are charged with making materials in their care accessible.   

Taught by Dr Sarah Pierce, an artist whose own practice is a substantial engagement with archives, this course will familiarize students with key archives in Dublin including NIVAL, the National Irish Visual Arts Library housed at NCAD.
