Tate webcast archives
Apropos of Terry Teachout's recent post announcing that the BBC has begun to make available on the web selected material from its sound archives, I would like to point out a similar venture by the Tate. Look at Tate Audio & Video for a schedule of upcoming live webcasts and an archive of artist talks, guest lectures by critics and writers, panel discussions, and symposia that relate to Tate programming or took place at the museums. Of particular interest to me: artist talks by Olafur Eliasson, Thomas Hirschhorn, Francis Alys, and Michael Snow; Stephen Melville's lecture (and discussion with Christian Bonnefoi and Laura Lisbon) titled "Painting Present"; the 2001 conference titled "Thinking the City"; and "Capital Seminar 1: Gift".
Does anyone know of other institutions that make available their archives in this manner? If so, please forward them to me and I will amend this post to create an index of archives.
