V2_East Doc Meeting upda

[abroeck@v2.nl (Andreas Broeckmann)]

Dear Syndicalists,

a while ago you received the information about the Meeting on Archives and
Documentation of Media Art which Inke Arns and I have suggested for
September 96.

The Meeting will take place in the context of the ISEA conference and the
DEAF96 festival here in Rotterdam.
The description can be found on the website at:
http://www.v2.nl/east/events/docmeeting9609.html


The *dates* will probably be

Wednesday 18 Sept for the public session during which there will be
presentations on the history of media art in different Eastern European
countries (this will be part of the evening programmes of DEAF96)

and Friday 20 Sept for the specialist meeting about archives and
documentation sources, about access and the compatibility of data bases
which already exist or are being created.


*Funding*

We have had a number of positive responses from people who want to come and
take part in both sessions. I have been looking at possible sources for
funding and it seems that it should be possible to get travel grants either
from the European Cultural Foundation or through the City of Rotterdam. I
have also applied for a grant from the Dutch Foreign Ministry. Other
sources are being researched.

The ECF has an APEX programme through which individuals can apply for
travel grants, while the City of R'dam has a programme that supports
contacts with the partner cities (Gdansk/Gdnynia, St. Petersburg,
Constanza, Burgas, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest).


*Applications/Invitations*

In order to be able to process the applications, I need confirmations from
you that you want to participate, and proposals for presentations etc. I
can then also send invitations for visa etc. These invitations should also
be useful for those of you who have the possibility of applying for money
from local sources. It is unlikely that we will be able to invite many
people on the Dutch grants, so it will be important that we pool resources.


*Spread the word*

There are still a lot of people with whom we had no contact, so please,
communicate the information about the Documentation Meeting to people who
you think should know about it and participate.


Best wishes,

Andreas
