Installation Art and the Practices of Archivalism

This book engages with the recent growth in visual projects that respond to the archive, focusing in particular on installation art. Jones considers in particular the widespread nostalgia for `archival¿ media such as analogue photographs and film. He analyses the innovative strategies by which such artefacts are incorporated, examining five distinct types of archival practice: the intermedial, testimonial, personal, relational and monumentalist.
