Richard J. Cox, Professor in Library and Information Science an der University of Pittsburgh weist in seinem Blog (Link) auf das neuste Buch Sven Spiekers hin:"Artists, in their work, comment on all aspects of life, and they have not ignored archives. Sven Spieker, The Big Archive: Art from Bureaucracy (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2008) documents such commentary. Spieker’s book “looks at the way in which the bureaucratic archive shaped art practice in the twentieth century, from Dadaist montage to late-twentieth century installation” (p. 1). Spieker analyzes art commenting on the archivist’s role, how archives are ordered, how early professional archivists viewed records as a life form, the differences between archives and registries, and the use by artists of archival artifacts or symbols (such as card indexes, typewriters, and file folders).....". Max Plassmanns Rezension (Link) zu Sven Spieker (Hrsg.): Bürokratische Leidenschaften. Kultur- und Mediengeschichte im Archiv, Berlin 2004, mag andeuten, was in diesem neuen Buch Spiekers zu erwarten ist.Lebenslauf mit Literaturliste Sven Spiekers:http://www.complit.ucsb.edu/CV_Spieker.pdf
