Sharing session about digitising archives in art galleries
During COVID-19, art spaces, galleries, and museums were forced to close for many months, increasing their focus on digital mediation of their cultural content and programs. At the same time, the lockdown provided time for digital archiving and virtual cataloging of collections. In the fall of 2020, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space in Bandung began digitizing its sprawling collection and building an archive. The project was supported by the International Relief Fund in the process. The 2020 International Relief Fund supported cultural organizations affected by the Covid 19 pandemic and was initiated by the German Foreign Office, the Goethe Institute, and other related organizations. The project was a great learning process and at the same time raised various practical and also ethical issues. Therefore, Goethe-Institut Bandung and Selasar Sunaryo Art Space invite you to a sharing session on digital archiving in local art galleries. Selasar Sunaryo Art Space will give insights into its digitization project and discuss with representatives from the Center for Indonesian Visual Art Studies of Institut Teknologi Bandung and the local gallery Serambi Pirous Studio Galeri. The IVAA (Indonesia Visual Art Archive) leads the conversation and analyzes the discussion for further initiatives.
In relation to preventing the spread of Covid-19, this event will be implemented virtually through Youtube.
