Instructions and Iterations: Archiving Steina's Work.
October 4, 2025 from 10:00 – 12:00
The Colloquium takes place at the Workshop of the National Gallery by the pond.
The milestone exhibition Steina: Playback retrospective offers a timely opportunity to convene artists, collectors, conservators, and curators working in the field of time-based media to discuss the preservation of Steina's groundbreaking work.
Building on the foundation of the archiving practices established by Steina and her husband, Woody, the Vasulka Chamber and the Vasulka Foundation are co-organizing a colloquium, with support from the Vasulka Kitchen Brno, to discuss the complex technical and stewardship challenges involved in preserving time-based media and best practices specific to Steina's artistic legacy. Instructions and Iterations will consider the preservation of data, as well as installation histories, and touch on the inherent instability, change, and obsolescence in preserving time-based media.
Event organized by Vasulka Foundation and the Vasulka Chamber of the National Gallery of Iceland, with support from the Vasulka Kitchen Brno.
