Assignment 2: COLLABORATIONS -- 2 Rejected Candidates for Consideration

Rejected CfC #1: Barbieri, Donatella (2012) Encounters in the Archive: Reflections on costume. V&A Online Journal, 4. ISSN 2043-667X

This link also points those who view the article to the still photos and to the 17.5 minute Blythe House -- Encounters in the Archive video in which this project culminated.

The problem with using this project as my Assignment 2 case study is that, while presenting readers/viewers with a new, holistic way to consider historic costumes and their integral importance to the performance in which they served their single purpose, it was not really representative of the assigned topic.


Rejected CfC #2: 

When Visual Art Meets Cinema : The Reconstruction of “Projekt I-'90” by Peter Struycken

Hoogeveen, Gert. Moving Image - Journal of the Association of Moving Image Archivists Volume: 12 Issue 1 (2012) ISSN: 1532-3978 Online ISSN: 1542-4235

The problems with using this case study are:

1. Although the article abstract describes the reconstruction project as being a collaboration between an art museum -- the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands -- and a film archive -- the EYE Film Institute Netherlands -- the named archive is as much a museum in its mission and activities as the named art museum. The distinction is far more one of media than of institution; and
2. The project was completed in March 2009.

Please tune in again sometime in this coming week for my official Assignment 2 blog post...
