Triangle

Troubling the Museum
Museums, performance, digital arts & heritage

15 September 2007 9.30am - 6.00pm

The Herbert, Coventry & Coventry Cathedral

A symposium to investigate the intersections between terms such as ‘immersive’, ‘interactive’, and ‘virtual’ as they are deployed in ‘living history’ practice, live interpretation, museum display design, and digital arts and heritage and asking in what ways performance and new media practices are troubling the museum.

In the party spirit of the classical symposium we will be encouraging spontaneity, and combining performance, and screenings, with a celebration, some boasting and rigorous discussion.

This event will launch Triangle’s Work in Times of War a new DVD archive which investigates Triangle’s Immersive Museum Theatre method, registration fees include a buffet, something to drink and entertainment.

Speakers and guests include performance specialists, museum professionals, new media artists, and expressive art teachers.
