Presented by Carnegie Museum of Art, “A Collection of Misfits: Time-Based Media and the Museum” is a two-day symposium designed to encourage discourse about the practical and philosophical issues of building, maintaining, exhibiting, and preserving time-based media art collections. Bringing together professionals from all points along the media continuum—artists, archivists, curators, conservators, academics, and media archaeologists—this symposium addresses the opportunities and challenges of working with time-based media. From well-established museums to independent projects, from physical galleries to digital spaces, the symposium seeks out the sites where time-based media resides, with an eye toward innovative approaches in traditional and non-traditional venues alike.

Speakers include: Emily Davis, Timothy Murray, Richard Rinehart, Andrew Lampert, Joanna Phillips, Crystal Sanchez, Moriah Ulinskas, Ben Fino-Radin, Margaret Noble, Jemima Rellie, Erika Balsom, Sarah Cook, Cindy Keefer, Barbara London, Steve Dietz, Caitlin Jones, Brett Kashmere, Geralyn Huxley, Bill Judson, Philip Leers, Lindsay Mattock, Lisa Sisco 

The Misfits symposium is supported by a grant from the A.W. Mellon Foundation.
