Resumen
GOMEZ VEGA, Christian Alberto. Towards a Policy of Art Documentation and Archive Management. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.11, pp.5-14. ISSN 2007-249X.
This paper poses a twofold problem concerning the documentation and archiving process of contemporary art practices. On one hand, this contribution stresses the importance of archiving practices for research and dissemination purposes and, on the other hand, it shows the challenges the archives are facing because of a lack of knowledge and protocol on their material aspects and due to the political implications caused by such shortcomings. This ESSAY combines referential theories and interviews conducted with those agents (curators and conservators) in charge of the subject matter, all from the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC, The University Museum of Contemporary Art), Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM, The National Autonomous University of Mexico), Laboratorio Arte Alameda (LAA, The Alameda Art Laboratory) and the archive of the artistic duet Pinto mi Raya, all in México.
Palabras llave : documentation; contemporary art; archive file management; artistic practices.
