>Television network programs like CNN, "Court TV," "Cops," and "The Real
>World," and private web pages and amateur video extend and enliven the
>long history of the documentary project. Grassroots museums and collectors
>of material culture are proliferating. There is also a growing movement of
>artists utilizing documentary approaches and presentational strategies
>(displaying actual "unmediated" artifacts) - Christian Boltanski, Peter
>Greenaway, Jim Shaw, Portia Munson, Fred Wilson, Haim Steinbach, Mike
>Kelley, Damien Hirst, Douglas Blau, Karsten Bott. Artists, historians, and
>cultural critics are invited to discuss: the roots of "the presentational"
>(scientific method, the camera, found objects in cubist assemblage,
>Duchamp, etc.); presentational/documentary modes outside the art world;
>specific artist's projects; the cultures of museums and collections; the
>relationship of the presentational and the representational; and the
>contemporary presentational project - failure (is that all there is?) or
>triumph (the ultimate document . . . the thing itself).
>
>I need short preliminary proposals (plus whatever else CAA requires -
>c.v., application form)  by June 10th the latest. Final Abstracts are due
>to me by Sept. 1. Each panelist will give a 15 - 20 minute presentation at
>the CAA conference in Chicago, February 28 - March 3, 2001.
