LI-MA DIGITAL CARE: MONIEK TOEBOSCH

On 25 November artists and scholars will examine the archive of Moniek Toebosch, whose provocative and imaginative art works now challenge the archival conventions. How to store and mediate her work for generations to come?

LI-MA is taking care of the private archives of several world renowned performance artists, working with video and their body, playing around with and upsetting the conventions that separate artistic media and genre. How to archive this performative body of works and how to mediate it or them? Which elements of the work, her approach to art or working method do we consider necessary to be made accessible to future generations? And how can we capture these unique artistic gestures and pass them on?

These questions we ask ourselves and discuss with **Maaike Bleeker ** (Professor Humanities Department of Media and Culture Studies, University of Utrecht), Willem van Weelden (tutor and researcher at Gerrit Rietveld Academie Dogtime), multimedia artist Wineke Gartz, composer Mayke Nas, and poet/composer Samuel Vriezen.

Can the work of Moniek Toebosch be revived, and if so, how could this be done? There are different modes for an archive to facilitate an activation of the work, for instance through new performances as in re-enactments or in invitations to perform from the archive.
