NYC Digital Art History

Public Group active 5 months, 1 week ago

Mission:
The New York City Digital Art History (NYC-DAH) group brings together local institutions and individuals with an interest in the practice of digital art history. The NYC-DAH is an opportunity for art historians, artists, curators, conservators, students, and members of the GLAM community (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) to meet each other and share knowledge, projects, and initiate collaboration.

The immediate goal of the group is community building. Through the NYC-DH website and community activities, the group aims to connect key institutions and individuals, and build a dynamic network of digital art historians, designers and engineers.

Our first workshop took place on February 11, 2016 at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Join the NYC DAH group to get updates on the group’s activity and upcoming events.

NYC-DAH Steering Group:
Chair: Jason Varone, The Institute of Fine Arts, NYU
Burcak Ozludil Altin, New Jersey Institute of Technology
Matthew Israel, Artsy

      I am giving a workshop on Friday February 10 from 4-6 pm at the Frick Art Reference Library for part of NYCDH week. Here is the Abstract:

      “How do I Get My Catalogue Raisonné Online?”
      A Guide to Open Source and Proprietary Online Catalogue Raisonné Software

      Compiled by scholars to assemble the disparate works of art that constitute the oeuvre of a particular artist alongside provenance, exhibition, and bibliographic information, Catalogues Raisonné are essential tools in the study of art history. They are, however, often outdated as soon as they appear in print, as new works of art appear on the market, or works of art change hands. In addition, they are expensive to buy and often only available in specialized art libraries. Many scholars are therefore eager to put their catalogues online, where they will be able to update them in a timely fashion without incurring the costs of reprinting them, and where a larger community of scholars will have easy access.
      Over the past 10 years, several good catalogue raisonné platforms have been created by software developers. In an effort to aid art historians in their search for a product that is right for them, this workshop will give a broad overview of many of the systems that have been developed, both open source and proprietary.
