Vašulka Mediascape
Additional sites to find parts of the Vašulka archive, works in distribution, and videographies, bibliographies and exhibition records
Lenka Dolanova’s posts in this section report that the Vašulkas’ extensive archives are now held in the Vašulka Chamber (Rejkjavik, Iceland) and the Vašulka Kitchen Archive (Brno, Czech Republic). Additional sites where portions of the Vašulka archive can be found include Internet Archive (archive.org), EAI (Electronic Arts Intermix) (eai.org), and Monoskop (monoskop.org). The Vašulkas’ work is distributed by EAI (eai.org), Video Data Bank (vdb.org) in the U.S., and LIMA (Amsterdam). This list is not comprehensive and does not include institutions whose non-distributing collections include work by the Vašulkas or exhibitions or surveys with Vašulka work that are in distribution.
