The Intangible Archive

چکیده
This research examines notions of St Ives’ ‘creative community’, rather than ‘art colony’, to describe the links (and disjunctions) between diverse creative practitioners, communities, places, and spaces in which they operate. Using the Memory Bay oral history archive in St Ives (a collaboration between University College Falmouth, Tate St. Ives, St. Ives Archive, Leach Pottery and Porthmeor Studios) has been a catalyst for on-going research exploring how art and cultural practice, past and present, connects individuals and communities, and how memory and identity is intertwined with and performed through space and place.

متن کاملKnowledge Acquisition for Knowledge Management: Position Paper
Knowledge is considered to be “the information needed to make business decisions”1, and so knowledge management is the “essential ingredient of success” for 95 per cent of CEOs [Manchester 1999].
