Program Support for Archival Thinking: Artist Archive Symposium at MoMA PS1

On December 4, 2025, Archival Thinking: Artist Archive Symposium will be held at the Kunsthalle Gallery of MoMA PS1 in New York. Jointly organized by the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) and the Cai Foundation, with the support from the Rattray Kimura Foundation, the symposium will be curated and moderated by Paul Holdengräber. The event will take the form of a full-day forum bringing together distinguished speakers from the fields of art, archives, and the humanities to explore the contemporary significance and future potential of art archives, followed by a reception.

Archival Thinking seeks to open the door for a new generation—to discover the power, purpose, promise, and pleasure of the archival practice. Reminding us that an archive is not merely a vessel of memory, but also a tool for action, inviting each creator to adopt archiving as a method to redefine the future of art.
