Following on from the Symposium, we have put together some resources for organising and holding an event for PhD students. They have been based on our experiences of planning and organising the Symposium and Live Art Event, and we have been (brutally) honest about the process we went through, where we encountered challenges and what we would repeat again if we had the chance to go back in time and learn from our successes and mistakes!
You can locate these resources from the (aptly titled) 'Resources' menu on the side-bar to the right or alternatively click on this link.
This blog was set up as a record for Materiality and Intangibility: Contested Zones, an international two-day Symposium and Live Art Event held on the 14 and 15 December 2009 at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester. It was planned and organised by PhD students for PhD students and was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Specifically Helen's 'yarn-bombing' of the Open Museum displays. Does the material become intangible, when we can't see it?
