It will be presented at the Glasgow School of Art from November 20th – December 19th, 2008.
An archive for video art and digital media has been operating at the Israeli Center for Digital Art, Holon for several years now. The archive contains more than 1,500 titles, including works by Israeli and International artists who have exhibited at the center, and works by artists who have contributed works over the years.
The idea of the Mobile Archive surfaced during several conversations on the idea of sending the resident archive abroad and how it could function there out of its original context. The question was how to make the archive dynamic and valuable to local audiences at both ends, which led to the decision to open the archive to local art contributions to be collected by each host institute.
The Mobile Archive will travel for three years in European, Balkan and Middle Eastern countries, before it returns back to Holon.
