This event introduces the NGV Exhibition Archive, an evolving digital resource preserving the afterlives of exhibitions.
Attendees will learn about different approaches to archiving exhibitions and how graphic design, photography and publishing shape the way exhibitions are recorded and interpreted. The NGV Exhibition Archive is an active site of research revealing the visual and textual history of exhibition making.
