'Eadweard Muybridge: Re-presenting History in the Digital Age'

Hosted by the British Film Institute, Southbank
21st May 2010, NFT2 2.00 - 5.30pm

You are warmly invited to attend a symposium marking the culmination
of a unique Arts and Humanities Research Council project between
Kingston University and Kingston Museum. The symposium celebrates
the launch of a innovative online research resource, for the first
time drawing together information on collections of Muybridge's work
worldwide, that provides an academic and historical context for
experts and the wider public.

Speakers will include:

. Dr Harriet Riches: Senior Lecturer in Art History & Visual
Culture at Kingston University.
. Professor Tim Cresswell, Director of Graduate Studies,
Department of Geography Royal Holloway, University of London
. Louise Shannon, Curator, Deputy Head of Contemporary
Programmes Victoria and Albert Museum and co-curator of 'Decode'.

The symposium will critically reflect on some of the crucial
cultural and aesthetic questions to have arisen from this
contemporary heritage project. Three presentations will explore
representation and the body within photography, the ideological
meaning of space and place within cultural communication, and the
contemporary trend towards digitization in arts and heritage
projects.

A guided discussion with questions from the audience will follow,
with a reception to finish.
