Activating the Archive (2016 & 2018 Editions)

Activating the Archive was an interactive exhibition that encouraged the public to use large quantities of archival marketing materials on contemporary artists from the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia to cut up, reconstruct, and stitch together a new collaborative work of art and literature. Using layered collage techniques, participants proceeded to critique, graffiti, and deconstruct.
