TALAS and the Northeast Document Conservation Center are hosting an event at Talas in Brooklyn NY.
Are you an artist or do you work for a creative agency? Join us for a new in-person workshop on preserving artists' archives. A collection of documentation about your artwork or business provides context for reviewers, research material for curators and scholars, and inspiration for future projects. Morning: What’s in your Archives? Collections Care and Identification Afternoon: Digital Archives and Preservation: Creating and Storing Digital Assets http://upstairs.talasonline.com/archive/preservation- access-intro-to-archives-for-artists-and-creative-agencies/ Archives provide access. A collection of documentation about your artwork or business provides context for reviewers, research material for curators and scholars, and inspiration for future projects. Your archive may include: Email and other correspondence Sketchbooks and journals Planning drawings and drafts Publications and press Contracts and legal documents Documentation of projects in analog and digital formats (photos, videos, etc) Finished works and portfolios For Artists: Preservation of your sketches, photographs, and correspondence creates a record about the time and place in which they were created, and your creative process. For Creative Agencies: Early works and prototypes, portfolios, contracts, and drafts represent the development of your brand and products. Establish ownership: Documentation of your work will make it easier to maintain ownership and claim copyright in the future. Digital assets need organization, too. Identifying, organizing, and storing your digital archives (emails, photos, data) follow the same principles as a paper collection: good knowledge of your assets, and upkeep over time. Documenting your creative history through digital images or scanning analog works create important records within your archive, and should involve standards for equipment, image capture, and file naming. Workshops are open to private and professional artists, design studios, architects, students, and other creative practitioners.
