A Guide to Archive Me suggests different approaches to understanding history and public memory in relation to archival materials created by artists. The project explores the categorization and dispersion of the artist materials in public institutes, which makes artists powerless. In response to existing online archives and search engines based on various hierarchical settings, AOP states art as a bottom-up creative force and subversive form of engaging art archives. The project comprises of a newly developed Art(ist) Searching engine (https://archiveme.art/), a series of moving images that elucidates the representation of artists and their material on internet with a sense of humor, a teaching pack that demonstrates how artists can archive themselves in relation to the complex network of organizations and institutes.
