'To Never Forever'
Artist talk by installation artist Faye Mullen of the University of Toronto on her video based installation 'To Never Forever.'

'Following Pictures: The Porous Divide between the Museum, the Archive, and the Academy'
Keynote presentation by Professor Jordana Mendelson of New York University, author of 'Documenting Spain: Artists, Exhibition Culture, and the Modern Nation, 1929-1939' and curator of the recent exhibition 'Revistas y guerra: La guerra civil española y la cultura impresa' ('Magazines and War: Spanish Civil War Print Culture') at the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía in Madrid. This talk seeks to question the disciplinary divides between spaces of history, collecting, and representation by reflecting on several projects that the author has undertaken for museums in Spain over the past decade and a half. By using the object as guide and seeking to understand the particular histories of individual objects and artists, the result has been exhibitions and book projects that have brought together spaces normally separated by constructed divides. One of the outcomes of the author's research has been her own disciplinary shifts between the space of the museum and the academy, between art history and Spanish literature and culture.
