Haifa Museum of Art in the frame of the exhibition Haifa-Jerusalem-Tel Aviv
Storageroom features complete digitized exhibitions ready for download and display at various venues by secondary curators
The Storageroom features complete exhibitions that are available for download, which underwent a process of digitalization so as to preserve the full quality after they have been downloaded in their respective formats (video, sound, photography, text etc.). After they have been downloaded, the exhibitions could be displayed in the venues available to the secondary curators (those who chose to download the exhibitions) and the conditions they have at their disposal.
The same exhibition could be displayed simultaneously by agents of completely dissimilar nature and financial means: as the exhibition will be displayed differently, and convey cultural and curatorial perceptions that reflect not only the perception of the exhibition’s curators, but also those of the secondary curators displaying it.
Steps:
1. Exhibition digitized preserving the full quality of media. Exhibiting recommendations and instructions compiled.
2. Exhibition is uploaded by artist or curator, copyright delegated to Storageroom
3. Exhibition downloaded by secondary curator, undigitized and exhibited at available venue
