Pragmatic poetics of the archive (Senta Siewert)

Senta Siewert will present her research about the pragmatic poetics of archival work in international institutions taking the Arsenal and the EYE Film Institute Netherlands as examples. The program "Rhythm in experimental film" combines films from the Arsenal with one from the EYE film archive and illustrates the aesthetic, poetic aspect of pragmatic poetics. Siewert will analyze the pragmatic (organizational, archival and curatorial) aspect with Simona Monizza (EYE Film Institute Netherlands). Afterwards she will talk to Stefanie Schulte Strathaus about the different archival strategies of the two institutions. (16.6.)
