Abstract
Investigates the potential of a collection of art ephemera to represent contemporary art practices in a library, which are otherwise rarely documented. Art ephemera are particularly likely to record transient and informal organizations and associated contingent strategies from the unstable and fugitive terrain of ‘alternative’ art activities, which have been a vital part of contemporary practice. Their qualities, as art ephemera, give them a value as a source of potential histories, which might otherwise remain obscure. I am most concerned in this project, with art practices which are not object-based, which are tactical and contextual and in which the idea of ‘alternative space’ remains operative, taking place London in the late 1990s.
