CRUMB are happy to announce a new Professional Development Workshop for 
contemporary art curators, 'Distribution and Dissemination after New 
Media', as part of AV Festival 2012 and following on from their opening 
weekend http://www.avfestival.co.uk/

The connected new media of streaming, web broadcasting and 
narrowcasting, smartphone apps and augmented reality offer intriguing 
opportunities for art and culture. This professional development 
workshop brings together experts from across Europe, to share real 
practical experience of dealing with issues of:

What happens to ideas of the 'live', over time?
What kinds of audiences?
How are artists using distributive media?

Speakers/workshop leaders:

- Ajay RS Hothi
is Manager & Curator of tank.tv "the only online museum of contemporary 
artists’ moving image". Tank.tv invites guest curators to create an 
exhibition from their permanent collection, has held live events at Tate 
Modern, the ICA, ZKM Karlsruhe and Kulturhuset Stockholm, and has worked 
with Pipilotti Rist, Vito Acconci, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Kutlug Ataman.

- Roger McKinley
is Research and Innovation Manager at FACT, Liverpool, and has led on 
the Artplayer.tv, an Arts Council supported project which is “a free to 
use national media player for the arts”. Aimed at National Portfolio and 
Regional Funded Organisations, it aims towards online programme creation 
and generate opportunities for venues and artists to create their own 
'channels'.

- Robert Sakrowski
is an Art Historian, Artist and Curator based in Berlin. From 1999–2003 
he headed the project netart-datenbank.org at TU Berlin and curated 
several exhibitions in the field of Net-based art. After working at the 
Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research in Linz, since 2007 he has 
created various exhibitions dealing with questions circling art and art 
practices connected to the web 2.0 of which themes are the main focus of 
his blog, http://curatingyoutube.net/

At a time when the Arts Council and NESTA are considering funding 
structures for new media as a means of distribution, this is a key 
workshop for curators, artists, educators and others interested in how 
media might meet their audiences, and how new media might be 
distributive art in itself, as well as a means to an end.

This professional development workshop builds on the highly successful 
CRUMB event led by former Guggenheim curator Caitlin Jones concerning 
'Documenting New Media Art'.

The workshop is FREE, but places are strictly limited and BOOKING IN 
ADVANCE IS ESSENTIAL.
