About this Event
CPAL Class - Managing Ephemera
Join us for a new CPAL class on Managing Ephemera. Archives are sites of recovery — touch points for connections to the past. This class addresses ways to move through artists' archives — both papers and objects — to create meaning.
Class title: Managing Ephemera
Instructed by: Sur Rodney Sur
Time: March 26, 3-5pm
Tickets available: CPAL’s website & Eventbrite
This is a two-hour class with the last 15 minutes dedicated to Q&A.
Subjects to be discussed:
- What is ephemera and why is it important?
- What would be considered an artifact?
- Considering inventory spreadsheets vs. data management programs
- Identification standards: everything needs an ID#, category, description, measurement, and location
- Digital files
- Appraisals / Insurance / Valuation?
- How are ephemera and artifacts useful? And to whom?
About the instructor:
Sur Rodney (Sur) is an artistic collaborator, curator, writer and archivist who has worked managing the ephemera and artifacts in his own collection and notable others: neo-Dada collage artist Buster Cleveland; multi-media performance artist Arlene Schloss; concept-based artist and writer Lorraine O’Grady; and most recently his late partner Geoffrey Hendricks, an artist associated with Fluxus, are among them.
