The Institute for Contemporary Archeology (ICA) is a "Virtual" cultural institute, established in December 20187. The Institute for Contemporary Archeology (ICA) is an international research and exhibition institute, embedded in the Belgium M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp). The ICA focuses on the most recent (20th and 21st century) contemporary past.The ICA has the "archaeology's" ability to tell stories that reach beyond official or formal discourse.
Focus
[edit]The ICA focuses on the most recent (20th and 21st century) contemporary past and does field research in archives, artist studio's, public and private collections. The ICA has expertise in historical artists, works, exhibitions, writers, curators and has an international network of prominent writers, researchers, and producers. The institute is specialized in reconstructing ideas, installations, and works, but also historical exhibitions.
Archive
[edit]The ICA has developed a web-archive to promote research and disseminate knowledge about the artist networks from the sixties. The web-archive responds to a growing need for art world professionals and academic researchers to work with artists in building information resources to aid future exhibition and re-activation of works and exhibitions. The web-archive contains exhibition photos, correspondence with artist, curators, producers, artist-statements and writings, interviews, and exhibition lists from various international art groups. The material has been "excavated" by international experts and includes documents from artist archives and institutes from all over the world, and material found deep hidden in the world wide web. The archive is permanent under construction, as new information will be added regularly, with the focus equally on the content of these resources and the software technology used to house the information.
