The Curatorial Resource for Upstart
Media Bliss, otherwise known as CRUMB,
has since 2000 functioned as the de facto resource for
all things related to new media curatorial practice. The
brainchild of Beryl Graham and Sarah Cook and a direct
outcome of their doctoral research, CRUMB works in a number
of ways, primarily as an email list with hundreds of international
subscribers. The CRUMB list has since its inception supported
both technical and theoretical discussions centred on
issues particular to new media curating. In addition,
CRUMB, based at the University of Sunderland, has organised
numerous seminars aimed at illuminating and exploring
new media art dissemination. The CRUMB Web site is an
invaluable resource, with links to the discussion list
and seminar documentation, as well as to a wide range
of relevant research, interviews with international curators,
bibliographies and other resources. As they've spent the
last five years soliciting the opinions of key participants
in the field, as well working on their own curatorial
projects, on February 1st, 2006, Caitlin Jones telephoned
Graham and Cook to talk about their own contribution to
the field. They discussed how CRUMB came to be, how its
focus has changed over time, and the ups and downs of
the new media curator.
