With a custom-built website, it is possible to prioritize what to begin organizing as an archive and extend the archiving capabilities later.
Archival content can be made available to the gallery/artist/artist’s estate via private login; able to be made available to other individuals by password-protected access or available on the public website. The material can be viewed online or assembled for catalogs or other materials. Filters can be created to find groups of work by various criteria and private collections can be assembled on the fly for viewing by curators and collectors.
Archiving’s usefulness is not only for the legacy of an artist after they die. Artists whose work is organized in an archival structure early in their career benefit from the ease with which material can be organized and generated for exhibitions, sales, grants and publications.
This functionality is customized to the needs of the client but can include any or all of the following:
- price(s)
- sales & owners
- framing notes
- location/exhibition history & calendar
- high res images
- notes on prints, signed copies, artist’s copies, editions
- research & other notes
- tags for reference
- audio & video media not otherwise displayed on the website
- work in progress notes and photos
- correspondence
Information that can be added for each exhibition includes:
- catalog (which may be generated from your archive)
- installation images (in progress, completed, and with audience)
- sales
- reviews
- venue contact information
- correspondence
While there’ll be plenty of room for discussion among attending artists (and perhaps gallerists), this workshop will be slightly less participatory than others as we’ll be demonstrating aspects of the kind of private archiving functionality that we design and build into the backend of an art website.
This workshop is suited to galleries/artists/estates who are already using some archiving functionality which could be improved—and for those who are considering it.
