Mon 5/5: Christiane Paul on Curating New Media Art

Please join the New Media Working Group for our last official meeting of the semester, a discussion on new media curating with visiting professor Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum. At the Whitney Museum, Paul directs artport, the museum's online portal to net art. (http://artport.whitney.org/)

"Curating New Media Art" with Christiane Paul
Monday, May 5th, 2008
3117B Etcheverry Hall
5:30-6:30pm

We will be reading two of Paul's essays on new media curatorial practice in preparation:

• Christiane Paul, "The Myth of Immateriality: Presenting and Preserving New Media," Media Art Histories, ed. Oliver Grau (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2007)

• Christiane Paul, "Flexible Contexts, Democratic Filtering and Computer Aided Curating," Curating Immateriality: the Work of the Curator in the Age of Network Systems, ed. Joasia Krysa (Brooklyn: Autonomedia, 2006)

Our NMWG meeting w/ Paul will be combined with a CNM201 class of mostly architecture grad students, which should make for an interesting discussion!
