Republications
Republications is the first
volume of Archive Journal’s
hors-séries. Each issue of the
series is commissioned to

the journal. For the inaugural
issue Archive’s editors have
invited curators and art
critics Virginie Bobin and
Mathilde Villeneuve. Taking
as a starting point the notion
of republication, the contents
of this volume have been

process over the course of
multiple editorial meetings
in Berlin, Aubervilliers
and Paris between 2011
and 2012. R E A D M O R E

Firenze 77 tells the story of a

Romana, between the second
half of the 1970s and the
early 1980s. This book brings
together a series of notes,
comments, book summaries
and various kinds of devices
and does not pretend to be
other than a collection of
heterogeneous, autonomous
material and is open to the
prospect of a future, broader
and unified work.

Politics of Memory
Documentary and Archive
The anthology Politics of Memory aims to investigate the
document as such, as an objective trace left by events, as
material proof or the creation of reality – the strategies with
which they transform a state of memory into state memory,
those by means of which a historical removal is enacted,
those, ultimately, in which there is an attempt to challenge
permanent or temporary amnesia, opening up to the future.
The artists and filmmakers contributing to this publication
represent the most advanced area on an international scale
of a research that inaugurates a new relationship between
artistic practices and the documentary.

The artists’ contributions have been collected within the
context of a cycle of conferences held between 2010 and 2013
and are re-presented here in a format aimed at highlighting
their connections and common research perspectives. To this
end, the volume is articulated in four sections and does not
follow the chronological order of the conferences. The first
section is dedicated to archival practices, the second to the
memory of conflicts, the third to the documentary dispositive
and the last to the representation of migration as a social
practice and as the enactment of breaching boundaries.

No More Sleep No More
Night-space and sleep,
despite the recent media
attention, remain rather
uncharted territories in the

and continue to generate
intriguing theories and

When Attitudes
Become the Norm
In this book devoted to the
field of curating and
“institutional art”, Žerovc
raises questions about the
character and limitations of
the “exhibition-maker as
artist” and the “exhibition
as a work of art”, asking
whether the socio-political
objectives for the latter
actually manifest
contradictory or even
opposite effects given the
inescapable conditions of
capitalism. The book
culminates with Žerovc’s
queries about the ritualistic
function of contemporary
art exhibitions, and this is
evocatively expressed in her
introduction: “There was
once great discussion about
how removing artworks
from their original context
and installing them in the
museum meant their certain
death. Today, it seems, we
need to be thinking about
different questions. Does
the institution of visual art
bring something to life …
what, in fact, are we
summoning to life?” (Mary
Anne Staniszewski)
