Friday 12 June 2009, 10.00–17.30

At a time when artists' archives are being increasingly valued, this study day brings together leading artists, archivists and art historians to explore some key issues. How should artists and archivists deal with 'all this stuff'? How may we interpret the sketchbooks, ephemera, recordings and other materials that artists leave behind? When may the artist's archive become an art work itself? Speakers include David Batchelor, Jamie Shovlin, Anna McNally and Jane Stevenson.
