»The benefits of the archive« round table discussion
Wednesday 3 July 2019, 7:30 - 11 pm
Location: Kunsthaus-Erfurt, Michaelisstraße 34, 99048 Erfurt
As treasure troves of material art, archives are consistently the point of departure for artistic research. These constantly evolving worlds of objects see stories and history rolled into one. We are using a round table to establish a dialogue on how artists access these archives and what benefits they offer. All attendees are invited to join the discussion. The round table participants are Dr. Sabine Folie of the Valie Export Center Linz, Andrea Karle (art historian and curator, Weimar), David Ashley Kerr, PhD (curator, Weimar and Helsinki), Dr. Christiane Wolf (Modernist Archive, Weimar) and the exhibition artists.
»Fake recollection« archive talk

A talk with curator and photographic artist Kateryna Radchenko will take place as part of the »Born to be Bauhaus« art prize.
Location: Neues Museum Weimar, Jorge-Semprún-Platz 5, 99423 Weimar
Director of the international Odesa Photo Days festival since 2015, Kateryna Radchenko studied photography on the fellowship programme at Villa Arson (Nice, France), and was involved in the Gaude Polonia programme (Warsaw, curator Adam Mazur) as well as at the Museum of Photography (San Diego, USA). She was a curator for the Intercult organisation (Stockholm, Sweden) and was part of the curator platform project at the PinchukArtCenter (Kiev, Ukraine). In her own words: ‘I view photography as an alternative way of telling stories and visualising problems. I am interested in using visual images to tackle social issues.’
