Vašulka Mediascape

Vašulkas’ livelong commitment to archiving, vasulka.org

“The free sharing of these accumulated resources, including on their own website vasulka.org , was also characteristic of the Vašulkas, while in keeping with the ethos of free distribution of the sixties, they did not bother too much with copyright. For example, the era of The Kitchen's operation is mapped here in detail through posters, invitations, programs, scanned early reviews from periodicals, transcripts of interviews and, of course, numerous photographs of people, machines and spaces. Thanks to a penchant for documenting one's own work and life, we can follow The Vašulkas and their equipment almost step by step, from studio to studio. Woody and Steina's archival obsession was related to the belief that they were participating in a turning point in media history that needed to be recorded for the future and at the same time provide a certain key to its interpretation.”
