Summary:The four documents included in this issue are elaborations of the papers presented at the 2019 Annual Conference of the Association for Art History. As it is common practice at academic conferences, each paper in this session was accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, which permitted the playback of sound and video excerpts from original artist interviews. A faithful transposition of these multimedia presentations in the pages of academic journals is often impossible given their design constraints. Given the interdisciplinary approach pursued in the session of The Artist Interview (2019) and the experimental nature of this issue, the following presentations have been revised as textual/verbal documents of original sound and video archival material. While the written component of each paper is fully readable here, some of their original sound and video counterparts are located and accessible in archives or repositories where these documents can be preserved and accessed in the future.1 The papers in this session acknowledge the multiple formats in which the artist interview exists, including scripts, live dialogue, audio/audio-visual recordings and transcripts.
