Hi,
Well, what
do I mean by documenting exhibitions?
It
concerns all data and information which are developed for exhibitions: general
and research, organisation and planning, budget, data of objects, documentation,
products (education etc.), public (public research) etc.; also why some
decisions are made (theme of exhibition, chose of objects
etc.)
I am
completing my studies by writing an advice for Dutch museums of modern
art. This advice will offer a direction to store data and information
in an efficient way and (eventually) to reuse it.
NB. The
mentioned points above do not only apply for (Dutch) museums of modern art, but
also for not museums of modern
art.
However I
have to restrict myself during my investigation. Therefore the non-(Dutch) museums of modern art are
also most welcome to respond.
Best
regards,
