OPENING SESSION
PLACES OF THE ARCHIVE
JOSÉ MAÇÃS DE CARVALHO
This webinar explores the archive as both a physical and institutional space, drawing on Jacques Derrida's concept of the archive's ‘archontic dimension’. It examines how archives, beyond their role in preservation, are deeply intertwined with memory and spatial constructs. Through the works of Gerhard Richter, Andy Warhol, and my own artistic practice —including the films Never Tell a Secret (2004), a proto-archival exploration, and Archive e Domicile (2014), which uses the figure of Bartleby to embody the archive’s obsessive and paradoxical nature— this talk reflects on how the physical and symbolic spaces of the archive shape processes of memory, interpretation, and cultural production.
