Polyphonic recounting – Opening the institution; the case of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies Barcelona

Author(s): Rassel, Laurence

Abstract

All the documents generated by the activities of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona are considered to be a public archive, and they will all be digitized. Indeed, an artwork generates documents by its mere existence. These are collected as “physical traces”, “leftovers”, marks of existence of what is defined by those working at and shaping the Museum as events, events that are happening in time and space in the Fundació. We gave the name Arts Combinatòries to the process of archiving, of digitizing and opening a space, real and virtual, that provides access to the archive in the institution. The article reflects on the notion of open access not only in the digital world but also in the museum.
