About the Event
What forms (physical or virtual) should inventories and archives take, and how do you deal with the emotional resistance to addressing the prospect of a personal archive?
In this panel discussion, we will talk about this as well as the practical issues: the physical storage; photographic and computer skills needed to manage virtual archiving; allotting time at any stage of life to pause production long enough to record it; and securing the help to execute this work.
Hungry?
Grab a bite to eat after the event from our dining room (a normally member-exclusive benefit)! Ticketed attendees who would like to stay for drinks and dinner should make dining reservations in advance via our Reservations page with the message “Inventory talk”.
About the Speakers
Annie Shaver-Crandell
Annie Shaver-Crandell, after a first career in academia as a historian of the art and architecture of the Middle Ages, and now Professor Emerita from The City College of New York, is now primarily a practicing painter and monotype artist. Realizing that her second career has generated much more physical residue than her first, she is actively engaged in creating her personal archive and estate-plan. Her intention is to create a series of forums in which other artists and their supporters can become aware of and address some of their own affairs in a timely way. She is a former member of the Board of Directors of Salmagundi, a Resident Artist member since 2001, an active participant in the club’s monotype parties and co-host of its monthly Argentine tango evenings.
