        Symposium Abstract

      Anne Walsh will present and discuss excerpts from her project "Art After Death," which she creates collaboratively with artist Chris Kubick as ARCHIVE. "Art After Death" uses audio cd's, museum audio tours, and video and/or sound installations to investigate the complex possibilities of the interpretative act - both by artists and by their historians and fans - by conducting interviews with deceased artists in seances with professional spirit mediums. To date ARCHIVE has created works with communications from Joseph Cornell, Yves Klein, and the Countess of Castiglione.
