Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Discourage tourism=gallery

2016-02-12 Thread John F. Eldredge
I am dubious about tagging the artists that the gallery represents, 
since this is likely to change on a fairly frequent basis.  My 
impression is that most exhibitions are only for a period of a week or 
two, meaning that the tag information would frequently be out of date.

art_style = expressionism / futurism / impressionism / mannerism / ...


Additionally
amenity=contemporary_art_gallery

and
shop=art

That sounds good to me.
Maybe we should have a way to add the names of the artist this gallery
represents?

Are there any objections to this?

I think such a specific subdivision would be useful, but I'm under the
impression that the more complex a proposal grows, the larger the
chance it will be rejected. I am therefore not planning to include
this in the proposal. Feel free to propose it yourself, or just start

Please keep in mind that this is your personal definition - and
perhaps the definition of the people in your field. But that's not
necessarily the definition of the average English speaker. For
example, Wikipedia calls the following museums all art galleries in
their first line:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_Institute_of_Fine_Arts
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tate_Modern
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Portrait_Gallery,_London

I don't think either fit your definition. You could say Wikipedia is
wrong here, but I think it does show that English speakers use the
term 'art gallery' in this sense of the word too.

Are you British yourself, by the way?

I don't think this would help, for example Birmigham has the

The Moma is a Museum.

By the current definition of the OSM wiki it should be tagged
tourism=gallery

Because this is confusing I support the move to remove tourism=gallery
entirely and make it museum.

For actual (contemporary) art galleries we should introduce
amenity=art_gallery or something similar.

I'd prefer amenity=museum, but I see that putting it under the tourism key
is quite established so it would have to be discussed if a change would
make sense (if it hurts less to do this change one and forever or if it is
better to bear the little pain when putting tourism=museum as main tag on a

that's yet another meaning I think (might be that these spaces have
historically been used to put up paintings and that the museum usage is
coming from there, but the word is now used for a type of architectural
element independently of art being shown or not). These would likely be
tagged differently (building:part=gallery etc.) so they don't pose a
problem.

+1, I didn't mean to say these examples (btw., they're your examples, they
are the examples from your dictionary link) were confusing, I wrote they
are proving that the word "gallery" is used for different things. The
problem is that the tag "tourism=gallery" or "amenity=gallery" don't tell
you which kind of gallery is meant. Intuitively I would have said it's the
first type (gallery as part of the contemporary art discourse, works for
sale), but as the wiki defines it as the second type (museum type), it is
clear that we will have problems with this tag to know what was meant.

Maybe we can use more explicit values, e.g.
"amenity=contemporary_art_gallery" for the first type? This is admittedly
quite a long tag, but it is much more verbose about what is actually
tagged, and would lead to less wrong tagging I guess. My stance for the
museum art galleries is to tag them as museums and subtype.

Hm. could probably be said about a stripclub too.
As an artist, I must say that when I go to a museum or gallery it is
mostly work.
For almost anyone I know it is too. I don't think many people of the
typical gallery visitors would agree with "tourism". Investment,
research, inspiration, socializing, networking, business, scouting would
all fit just as well - or better - as tourism does.

Right.

https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/gallery
https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/museum

Gallery: A room or building for the display or sale of works of art: an
art gallery the National Gallery

Museum: A building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic,
or cultural interest are stored and exhibited: [as name]: the Museum of
Modern Art

Also the British English is contradicting the use in OSM and the
definition in the OSM wiki where museum is non-art only and Gallery is a
Museum for art. That seems completely made up. Thanks Matthijs for
bringing this conversation up. Now how do we fix it?

both, the two examples above, as the first two  examples on the link, clearly 
show that the word gallery has multiple meanings:

Many galleries display the art prints without prices - hoping to get more 
easily into an e-mail contact with their visitors.
The new renaissance and baroque galleries at the Waiters Art Museum, Baltimore, 
include rooms that resemble those of a seventeenth-century Dutch nobleman.


how do you propose we should deal with this? Use the same tag for both kinds of 
gallery? use it only for one type and use another tag for the other type 
(which?)

yes, while tags are not entirely the same thing as is natural language, they 
tend to be used in a way that is deducted from the meaning of the words. Trying 
to establish definitions that go against the actual meaning of the words will 
not work.

I can understand where the confusion is coming from, but it is actually
not really hard to distinguish.

The art gallery is an important part of the art business. There is the
gallerist whose job it is to find promising artists to invest in. The
gallerist works with the artist to promote the artist and is selling the
artworks of the artist. Usually the gallerist has a contract with the
artist that grants the gallerist the right to represent this artist for
a country or continent.

For the layman it might be confusing that there are museums which also
call some of their rooms a gallery, or even the whole museum is called
gallery. This however is just because in this context gallery is used as
a synonym for exhibition space. Here it is more the architectural sense
of the word gallery, just like it can be used for things that are
balcony like.

If an artist says something like: "Next month I'll show my work in a
gallery in Paris" you can safely assume that the art gallery of the
first kind is what is referred to.

Sure, in a seruous gallery you will not find pricetags on the works. If
you do see them, that's a sign it might be just what is described as
shop=art in the wiki. Why? because the gallery will either have a
separate sheet of paper with the prices and the list of works, or the
gallerist prefers to negociate individually with the clients.

So your examples are not confusing at all. That there is no price tag,
is no indicator that it is a museum.
The second example is clearly using the word gallery in the
architectural or exhibition space sense, but that doesn't make it an art
gallery. It's a museum (which has some thematic rooms/exhibition spaces
a.k.a. "galleries").

Does it make sense?

no, I think there are lots of meanings for the word "gallery", ranging from 
architecture over mining,  to kind of museum to private exhibition spaces that 
are part of the contemporary art discourse. The latter 2 are IMHO different 
enough to not put them under the same main tag.

See also this definition and note in the OED under 'museum':

'2. a. A building or institution in which objects of historical,

Also: the collection of objects held by such an institution.


'Although a museum may include a library or art gallery, the word is not 
(in British use) normally applied to an institution in which either of 
these is the sole or most prominent feature. However, in continental 
Europe the corresponding word is often used to denote an art collection, 
and when so used is usually rendered museum in English (cf. musée n. 
). Similarly, in the 
United States, museum is sometimes used for art museum'.


It seems to me that the wiki was attempting to preserve the British 
English distinction between a museum and a gallery, and the latest 
changes have moved it in the direction of American and European usage.

I d make this an attribute and not change the main tag for the venue in this

Neither are really a direct alternative

Sorry, but a gallery is not a museum

Just because there are fewer 'gallery' than museum doesn't make it 
incorrect.


Just because galleries may be incorrectly tagged a 'museum' doesn't make 
them incorrect.


A shop selling art could be a sub tag of gallery (or maybe the other way 
around?)


I see no reason for discouraging tourism=galley.

Thanks for your useful comments.

I'm not sure if I fully understand your explanation. How would you
categorize the following examples:

* http://www.mudam.lu/en/le-musee/la-collection/currently-at-mudam/
* http://www.whitewallgalleries.com/
* https://www.bcee.lu/en/Discover-BCEE/Discover-BCEE/The-'Am-Tunnel'-art-gallery

I'm not sure if I ever saw an art shop of the type you described. Do
you have any example of these, perhaps a URL?

Browsing in the wiki I can see where all the confusion comes from.
Basically the wiki is saying that anything showing art is a gallery,
while the word museum is reserved for science and history.

Obviously that's not the case and should be fixed.

No, that's not the difference.

A museum is an institution which shows art works so that the public can
see them. The art works are usually by established artists. Shows are
curated thematically by curators.

A gallery is showing art to the public. There is the possibility of
purchase, but it is only a tiny fraction of the audience which actually
is buying. The works are by artists the gallery represents. Shows are
designed by the artist (with help or in collaboration with the gallerist).

An art shop is selling art(sy things). Visiting without buying is
possible, just as you may walk through a supermarket without buying
anything. The artworks are for sale are usually more on the craft side
of the arts. They are of decorative nature and not of considerable worth
on the art market. Art works may end there as second hand goods. The
producers of these art works may not even know their work is in the
shop. There is no special exhibition, concept or theme other than the
intent of selling the goods.

Note that the wiki currently states: 'Note that art galleries very
often have the word "museum" in the name. Despite this, if they are
primarily displaying art, they should probably take the tag
tourism=gallery'.

It is not clear whether you (and the people agreeing with you) do or

That's clearly a museum. On the page you see that the Museum has a
collection. The museum aquires works from artists for their collection.
Galleries don't do that. If museums do sell from their collection (this
happens one in a while) it is a major scandal.
You can also define it by their business model. They ask for donations.
Another indicator that it's a museum, galleries would not do this
either, because they live off the (usually 50%) fee of their sales.

> * http://www.whitewallgalleries.com/
That is a gallery. At least that's their self understanding. It is
selling crap IMHO, but let's not get into that. It seems quite
commercial, shop=art seems fair for this one as well.

> * 
> https://www.bcee.lu/en/Discover-BCEE/Discover-BCEE/The-'Am-Tunnel'-art-gallery
I would tag this as museum, not gallery. The word gallery is sometimes
used in a museum as a synonym for exhibition hall. In this case it is a
showroom for the aquisitions of a bank. It is not the intent of the
exhibition to resell these works. That said, showing the work usually
makes the work more valuable, so it is in the interest of the owner to
display the works (or lend them, sometimes permanently, to a museum).

I second this. Gallery, Museum and a shop that sells art are completely
different things.

"I had a look at some famous galleries: the MoMA in New York, the Uffizi
in Florence, the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the Van Gogh
Museum in Amsterdam, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and the Guggenheim
Museum in Bilbao."

Those are clearly museums, not galleries and they are correctly tagged
as museums. Sorry to say this, but that sentence clearly shows OP has
not understand what a gellery is. The wiki pages for tourism=gallery,
and shop=art do explain nicely what the difference is between those.

Ironically the image in the wiki for tourism=museum shows the national
GALLERY. (which should be tagged museum, but the national gallery is
showing art which the wiki is not mentioning, only "exhibitions on
scientific, historical, cultural topics")
It's a mess.

I think there is a need for sub tags in tourism=museum so that we can
distinguish between a science, history, tech, or art museum.

Thanks Max - that sounds clear and objective to me, and from an informed
source. 

Why don't we just copy this text to the wiki so (with a bit of luck)
newly tagged museums/galleries/shops will follow this pattern. Then we
can discuss the relative merits of a wholesale retagging of the "legacy"
objects, or whether it is better to leave the existing tags in place.

I've edited it a bit:

An art museum is an institution which shows artworks so that the public
can see them. The artworks are usually by established artists. Shows are
developed with a concept by curators. Artworks are from the museums
collection or on loan from other museums, galleries or private
collectors. The business model of an museum is based on public funding,
donations and ticket sales. Exhibitions are permanent collections and
temporary special exhibitions which run for a couple of months.
Depending on the available space, permanent and temporary exhibitions
are often simultaneously on display (in different rooms or levels).

A gallery is showing art to the public. There is the possibility of
purchase, but it is only a tiny fraction of the audience which actually
is buying. The works are by artists the gallery represents. Shows are
designed by the artist (with help or in collaboration with the
gallerist). Am exhibition consists typically of new work by the artist
is usually on display for a couple of weeks only. The business model of
an art gallery is based on the sales from the art. A gallery usually
gets a cut of up to 50% of the price of the artwork and is doing the
dealings with the art collector.

An art shop is selling art(sy things). Visiting without buying is
possible, just as you may walk through a supermarket without buying
anything. The artworks are for sale may be more on the craft side
of the arts. They usually are of decorative nature and not of
considerable worth on the art market.

actually if you call a gallery like the national gallery or the
Gemäldegalerie in Berlin an "art museum", you are not wrong, but you loose
one level of detail: a gallery as a kind of art museum only collects and
exhibits paintings, while more generic art museums might collect anything
related to art, like sculptures, video, paintings, prints, ...

I believe the German word "Galerie" is a short form for Gemäldegalerie
which is a place where paintings are on display.

However, the English word "Gallery" doesn't seem to have this specific
meaning. Mirriam-Webster includes "sculptures, etc"

Many many key/values are not precise in what is intended. That is why 'sub

'Sub keys' like width, height add detail. If you think a gallery needs more 
detail, add sub keys to it!


  and either way "tourism" is not a nice key for these

No. OSM amenity - important facilities.

Tourism is the correct key in this instance, a place that provides visual

Most of the discussion participants seem European, so I wanted to chime
in that Max's dividing lines and rationale for these three things seem
100% right to me, as an American who visits Museums, has visited
galleries, sometimes on the invitation of exhibiting artists, and has
exhibited as an artist (photography, hobby).

I find the distinction above between gallery and shop=art to be somewhat
like amenity=cafe and amenity=fast_food.  I get the point about artist
curation in galleries, but in my view the key question is would another
artist consider it the kind of place that usually has proper art, vs a
Thomas Kincaid shop or a place with framed touristy posters, so there is
a significant aspect of a quality dividing line.

There's also a vague notion that works in a gallery are probably on
consignment (owned by the artist until a sale), whereas in a shop=art
they are more likely bought to be inventory.



Finally, there's a fourth entity, sort of, venues that are something
else but also exhibit art.  This happens both commerically an
non-commercially.

There is a restaurant near me that has a different artist each month,
with the artist selecting works and hanging them.  Unlike most
galleries, there is no commission; the restaurant owner both wants to
support artists and (I believe) make the restaurant seem connected to
the local art scene to make it more attractive to diners.  Several other
restaurants similarly show art, and I suspect some of them take a
commission.

Another type of exhibit venue is a room in a local library that
typically doesn't charge the artist or get involved in sales (the artist
puts up contact information); it's just free exhibit space for the sake
of having more art on display and supporting artists (who are viewed as
worthy of government charity).

In both examples, there is a main thing, restaurant or library, which
happens to have art displayed at least sometimes, but that's a detail.
So they are definitely not tourism=gallery.  They might be
amenity=restaurant gallery=yes, much like wifi=yes.
