Abstract

The Central Art Archives, founded in 1990 as a documentation and research institution within the Finnish National Gallery, have attempted to accept the challenges that contemporary art presents to archiving by realising extensive documentation projects covering conceptual, performance, land and environmental art in Finland. The corpus of documentary material includes photographs, slides, videos, interview transcripts, exhibition catalogues, etc. Currently the Central Art Archives is working together with the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma on a media art project.
