SYMPOSIUM VASULKAS RELOADED<br>
<br>
The VASULKAS RELOADED international symposium is taking place at Vašulka <br>
Kitchen Brno located at the Brno House of Arts (House of the Lords of <br>
Kunštat) in Brno, Czech Republic on 22 and 23 October 2024.<br>
<br>
It will be devoted to the critical evaluation of the work of Steina and <br>
Woody Vasulkas and their significant contribution to the art world <br>
including the subject of open archives.<br>
<br>
Steina and Woody Vasulkas have always encouraged the idea of an open <br>
archive, one that is freely accessible and that can be transformed into <br>
a site of collaboration for a wide range of interested parties. They <br>
conceived their own archive (<a href="http://vasulka.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">vasulka.org</a>) containing contextual material <br>
from early video art on an unprecedented scale including personal <br>
letters, photographs, grant applications, exhibition costs, technical <br>
descriptions, and more. They gradually donated their digitized materials <br>
to various institutions and individuals with the hope that they would <br>
not only preserve but also disseminate and continue to work with them. <br>
These archives are now scattered in several international locations. In <br>
doing so, they also explored avenues that turned out to be less fruitful <br>
endeavors, such as the creation of a living archive in Second Life. <br>
Vašulka Kitchen Brno is also one of the sites where the Vašulka's <br>
archive is being processed, where the digitized materials are accessible <br>
to all those interested in research related studies.<br>
<br>
Recently, several major exhibitions took place in Iceland and Czech <br>
Republic that attempted to work with the Vasulkas' artefacts in a new <br>
way, and others are coming soon in USA and Iceland. The talks will <br>
critically discuss the role of Vasulkas in European and American new <br>
media context, their ways of (co)working with other artists and <br>
institutions, their approach towards sharing resources, as well as <br>
current possibilities of exhibiting and archiving their works.<br>
