Looking back on 2004, the enlargement of the EU with the inclusion of 
ten new countries was a historic moment that was expected to bring about 
a change in the political, social, economic and cultural landscape of 
Europe.

In the field of art this process of transformation has been the subject 
of much reflection, in both individual works of art as well as in 
exhibitions and special programs.
The project Art Archive Study. Before and After 2004, organized by three 
different archives, aims to reflect on related questions, answers and 
comments from an archival perspective 20 years later.

Moderna galerija Archives in Ljubljana, the Archive of Fine Arts in 
Prague and basis wien – Archive and Documentation Centre are attempting 
to take a closer look at this specific point in time by dealing with the 
holdings as corpora – archival bodies – and expanding this with traced 
sources, interviews and, finally, this conference.

Its title, I REMEMBER THIS, refers to a work by the Slovakian artist 
Roman Ondak from 1998. In it he removed sockets, ventilation covers and 
alarm sensors from the walls of the City Gallery Prague and mounted them 
on a scaled-down version of the City Gallery's spatial architecture, 
thus doubling the space. This reference to the perspective of art and 
artistic forms such as exhibitions is intended to emphasize the personal 
connection, and the subjective action, in a collective memory. Based on 
the idea of this artistic work, following its sources and traces as a 
second layer of experience, the conference pays particular attention to 
the contexts of information gathering, knowledge production and 
historical material.
