Synopsis

How and why do artists customize, sort, organize, and scrutinize archival information? "Potential" considers the role of the archive in current artistic practice through the work of 11 international artists who engage with archival and documentation processes. Using the archive as a starting point, each artist regards archiving as an ongoing research process in their work, one that may result in a variety of outcomes rather than one fixed object. In presenting and critiquing these different approaches, "Potential" encourages the questioning of inherited concepts and the consideration of alternative, more flexible and reflexive methods.
