The digital artist archive

The Archive of an artist, of a museum, of an art gallery, of a public or private collection is a fundamentally important structure that, with constant updating and organisation, gathers the most complete documentation on artists, works, events and publications.

A place of study and memory, it documents and reconstructs artistic personalities and institutional events through the collection of critical and theoretical writings, press review articles, catalogues and invitations, audio-visual materials, photographs and correspondence.

The Archive is not, however, exclusively dedicated to the safekeeping of historical material, but increasingly becomes a tool for daily use in the organisation and administrative management of its institution.

One of the fundamental tasks of the Archive is therefore to collect, catalogue, correlate and adequately preserve all documents and information relating to the life and production of artists and to contribute to a more agile and correct institutional activity.

Our customised software solutions meet all these requirements, with the guarantee of maximum confidentiality and data security, project flexibility and integration with the most innovative technologies.
