What are art archives, and why do they matter?

Held on 27 March 2018.

Unrelated to these projects, the John Deakin Archive holds thousands of negatives and hundreds of prints. What are these other images, who are they of and what do they tell us about Deakin, his working practice and his time? ABOUT THE ART360 PROJECT The Art360 Project has created a valuable network of experts in key areas, including archive valuations, digitisation and conservation. We share the knowledge accumulated through our activities, and to stimulate ongoing conversation on these vital subjects as they evolve with technological innovations. Our workshops are a unique opportunity to gain insight into an increasingly pressing but under-researched field of inquiry. We hope to create a thought-provoking forum for discussion and bridge dialogue between institutions, artists, estates and archivists. “As a child, and now an adult I continue to be inspired by the lives of artists. My own personal life story is unique and I would like to begin the process of sharing it through the cultural history of my work.” - Hayley Newman, Art360 Foundation artist “Without a public showing, documentation or works in private or public collections the entirety of my practice remains in the margin, unseen and unavailable.” - Terry Smith, Art360 Foundation artist The Art360 Project is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. It brings together the shared expertise of Art Fund, DACS, The Henry Moore Foundation and The National Archives.
