We
propose a collaborative project that will begin to establish such professional
best practice. The collaboration, consisting of the Berkeley
Art
Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA), the Solomon
R. Guggenheim Museum, the Walker
Art Center (a non-funded partner), Rhizome.org,
the Franklin Furnace Archive,
and the Cleveland Performance
Art Festival and Archive, will have national impact due to the urgent
and universal nature of the problem for contemporary art institutions,
the practicality and adaptability of the model developed by this group,
and the significant expertise that this nationwide consortium will bring
to bear in the area of documenting and preserving variable
media art.
