Artery: The AIDS-Arts Journal & Forum
Edited by Robert Atkins
Launching December 1, 1999
www.artistwithaids.org
The Estate Project for Artists with AIDS (a project of the Alliance for the
Arts) is a national organization committed to preserving artworks created
during the AIDS crisis so that they can be used by curators and historians
to provide a subjective view of this time of crisis. In December of 1998,
the Estate Project worked with partner organizations such as Visual AIDS,
Visual AIDS Boston, Visual Aid San Francisco and the LA Gay and Lesbian
Center to launch an extraordinary website at www.artistswithaids.org. The
website and it's Virtual Collection were an excellent first step towards
centralizing important information and images.
Now, with the creation of Artery: The AIDS-Arts Forum - an on-line journal
and forum by critic and activist Robert Atkins -
<http://www.artistswithaids.org>http://www.artistswithaids.org takes
another important step forward. This site is, by its nature, democratic.
The thousands of images available for viewing in the Virtual Collection,
for example, are purposely not curated. The Estate Project has left it to
the viewer - the general public, curator, historian, artist living with HIV
- to make their own judgements about the information they are presented with.
However, we do feel that it is necessary to bring critical voices and
interpretation to this site both to discuss specific artworks you might see
and to illuminate the larger issues that surround them. To that end, the
Estate Project asked Robert Atkins to create an on-line journal and forum
to enlarge the discussion surrounding art and AIDS while building a sense
of community amongst those using the site.
Artery's premiere issue contains an Artist in the Archives interview with
Gregg Bordewitz - a videomaker and activist who is involved in the Estate
Project AIDS Activist Video Preservation Program. Other features include a
moderated Dialogue entitled "Plays, Lies and Ticket Sales,"
playwright/screenwriter Craig Lucas's and novelist/playwright Sarah
Schulman's lively discussion about AIDS and theatre between (moderated by
Michael Bronski); an online Symposium about the current states of AIDS-arts
by Chris Dohse (dance), Stephen Holden (television and film), Eileen Myles
(literature) and Nancy Princenthal (visual arts); and an illustrated
Feature by Robert Atkins, "Off the Wall: AIDS and Public Art."
In typical, online fashion, "Artery" is being launched in process. Not all
of the interactive features or planned editorial resources have been
developed yet. In the near-future, expect to see photo-essays, book
reviews, photo-essays and community projects, a timeline of two decades' of
AIDS-arts, as well as more of what's available now. We hope that you will
come back to the site in 2000 for both new issues of Artery as well as new
operating software allowing the Virtual Collection to accommodate a greater
range of viewers.
Robert Atkins is an art historian and writer who has been an innovator in
the areas of both digital culture and AIDS activism. Currently, Atkins is a
research fellow at Carnegie-Mellon's Studio for Creative Inquiry and art
editor of the Media Channel. In 1995, he created TalkBack! A Forum for
Critical Inquiry, the first American online journal about online art, and
from 1996-98, was editor-in-chief of the Arts, Technology, Entertainment
Network, a New York Times Company start up producing arts programming for
television and the Internet. Since the beginning of the epidemic, Atkins
has written widely about AIDS and in 1990 co-curated, "From Media to
Metaphor: Art About AIDS," the first travelling museum exhibition surveying
art about AIDS. He was also one of the four founders of Visual AIDS, the
ten-year-old New York-based non-profit responsible for the annual Day
Without Art, the Red Ribbon Project, and many other educational activities.

Dear Friends
During 1998 and 1999, The UK's Performing Arts Data Service (PADS) was
involved in a significant national initiative concerned with researching
and developing the dissemination of moving image resources over computer
networks to users in UK Higher Education. The project, known as
the BFI/BUFVC/JISC Imagination/Universities Networked Moving Images Pilot
Project, was initiated jointly by the British Film Institute (BFI), the
British Universities Film and Video Council (BUFVC) and the Joint
Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the UK Higher Education Funding
Councils.
The PADS is pleased to announce that the findings of this project, together
with the catalogue data created is now freely available from the PADS web
site at:
<http://www.pads.ahds.ac.uk/ImaginationPilotProjectCollection>http://www.pad
s.ahds.ac.uk/ImaginationPilotProjectCollection
Users should note that due to copyright restrictions on the moving image
material, it is regrettably not possible to provide online samples from
this site at the present time. However, we understand that the BFI is
negotiating with selected copyright holders with a view to extending
the licences so that further demonstrations of our archived material might
be possible. In the meantime, users have full access to the essential
metadata created for the original project along with some digitized study
materials offered in support of the clips.
For more information about the PADS, or the Imagination/Universities
Project please contact Catherine Owen, Collections Manager at
