Dear Colleagues
"e-magine: gateways to the changing landscape of art information" is this
year's ARLIS UK and Ireland conference, being held here in Glasgow from 15th
to 18th August, immediately before (and an official satellite meeting of)
IFLA 2002.
The conference will be exploiting Glasgow's exhilarating cultural
infrastructure to the full. The programme includes -
- speakers including Kerstin Assarsson-Rizzi (The Royal Academy, Stockholm),
Sue Lambert (National Art Library), Seamus Ross (University of Glasgow), and
Mark Purcell (National Trust)
- workshops on copyright, dyslexia, digital ephemera, digitisation projects,
and services including SCRAN/AMICO, TASI, and VADS
- study visits to the world-famous Burrell Collection, the Centre for
Contemporary Art (showing Becks Futures during the conference), the
Hunterian Art Gallery with its stunning Whistler collection and the
Mackintosh House, and of course Mackintosh's masterwork the Glasgow School
of Art, as well as Glasgow's extraordinary range of artist-run spaces
showing cutting-edge work
- guided walks showing the the city's stunning mixture of history and
full-on contemporaneity
- a reception hosted by Glasgow's Lord Provost in the Gallery of Modern
Art - a chance to see David Mach's major retrospective "Hell Bent"
- dinner in the sumptuously restored St Andrews in the Square, arguably
Scotland's finest eighteenth century church
And that's just a taster of what you can look forward to! For the full menu,
