The current global pandemic and the ‘new normal’ in which we are living emphasises the urgency to identify new methods galleries and archives can adopt to share their archives and exhibitions with new audiences.
Within this research project Judith explores how the archive is viewed by artists and audiences alike, with the aim to altering the way that artists collaborate with archivists and archives. The objective of this research will encourage Contemporary New Media Artists and Curators to utilize the archive, thus using the work within the archive to create new art and exhibitions. This research will enable the archive to be shared and enjoyed by new audiences.
