Indexing and Investigation of Artists’ Publications Workshop & Art Salon Workshop on Indexing and Investigation of Artists' Publications 13 and 14 November 2009 at the Weserburg | Museum of Modern Art From the 1960s onward, artists, publishers and collectors all over Europe started establishing networks that were quick to spread internationally regardless of political borders, their primary means of communication being the postal exchange of published artworks such as artists' books, magazines and newspapers conceived by artists, and multiplied objects and prints reflecting approaches ranging from Mail Art to Concept Art. The large majority of the works originating in this alternative artists' movement have not yet been investigated or catalogued, and only a small proportion of them have been published on the Internet to be accessed through archival finding aids or databases. Whether in museums, libraries or art institutions in Europe or elsewhere, archives and collections of artists' publications do not have sufficient personnel resources at their disposal to register their holdings. What is more, many institutions have no clear concept for the indexing and investigation of these artistic publications, or of the factors to be taken into account in the process. A uniform approach or standardised guidelines for indexing have yet to be established. The aim of this two-day workshop will be to deliberate on the standardization of the indexing categories, to work out chief criteria for a comprehensive search mask and (thus laying the foundation for later digital networking by way of online finding aids), and to begin thinking about the exchange of data. Within the framework of the workshop, an initial draft of a content-related standard is to be discussed and further developed with representatives of museums, collections, archives, and libraries. Building upon existing standards, the participants will work towards a common manual to serve as a set of regulations for the indexing of artists' publications. Thesauri, standardised data, and catchword indexes are also to be addressed. Presentations on already existing digital networks will grant insight into the possibilities, problems, and opportunities associated with digital networking, hence fostering discourse on long-term cooperation between artist publication collections and archives and on the establishment of collaborative affiliations between these collections and archives. Through joint efforts - including the exchange of information and data on artists' publications - we can accomplish the task of investigating and indexing artists' publications and making them accessible for all institutions despite diversity of language and of socio-cultural and historical contexts. The workshop has been conceived as a meeting of experts that is likewise open to other interested parties, while also serving as a means of training staff from the participating institutions.
