CONFERENCE // ART INFORMATION: REFLECTION AND THE FUTURE

The international network of art libraries centered around the Art Discovery Group Catalogue (https://artdiscovery.net/) will come together for the 9th time to hold its bi-annual conference, this year at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (ZI = Central Institute for Art History) in Munich, Germany. The conference is both a meeting of the partner libraries of the Art Discovery Group Catalogue project and an occasion to mark the 10th anniversary of the Future of Art Bibliography Initiative (FAB, https://www.getty.edu/research/institute/development_collaborations/fab/) as an instructive and aspirational lens through which to view many of the major community-based projects that have developed in our domain over the past decade. It will examine projects individually and collectively, in both practical and conceptual terms, and consider topics of collaboration, inclusivity, and diversity of art information. Questions will be possible after each paper.

The conference will take place in the main reading room of the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich.
The ZI and sponsors will provide free catering and drinks.

ARLIS/NA 2023 Invitation to Mexico City

The ARLIS/NA Texas-Mexico Chapter and 2023 Conference Planning Advisory Committee officially invite the members, friends, and affiliates of the Art Libraries Society of North America to attend its 51st annual conference from April 18-21, 2023 in Mexico City, Mexico.

THE WORLD LOVES MEXICO CITY!

In the past decade, Mexico City has been consistently named one of the top—if not the premier—travel and cultural destinations in the world (New York Times #1 for 2016; World Design Capital for 2018—the only city in the Americas to ever receive that title; National Geographic #1 for 2019); the cover feature of the Fall 2019 issue of Aperture magazine; and why Mexico City should be at the top of your bucket list according to Paste magazine. A financial and cultural center of North America, Mexico City offers a unique opportunity for the society to generate knowledge and cultivate connections with art information professionals in the region. 

ARLIS/NA WILL LOVE MEXICO CITY, TOO!

This inaugural occasion will build upon successful Mexico-sited programming of the recent past: the five-day 2011 ARLIS/NA International Relations Committee Study Tour that was conducted in Mexico City in conjunction with IFLA Arts; the ARLIS/NA Texas-Mexico Chapter 2008 meeting convened in Guadalajara in conjunction with the International Book Fair (FIL); and that same chapter’s four-day 2016 chapter meeting in Mexico City that drew attendees from 4 U.S. states and 2 Canadian provinces, as well as those in Mexico, and culminated in a future-focused roundtable discussion between ARLIS/TXMX members and representatives from 7 Mexican institutions.

SO MUCH ART AND DESIGN!

The cultural sites and educational institutions of the largest city in North America are plentiful. Of the more than 250 museums in the city, most of the following institutions are located in two scenic and walkable central zones (the Historic Center and Polanco/Chapultepec Park) and will be offered as organized tours or for attendees to visit on their own:

Further afield but easily accessible are:

The Conference Planning Advisory Committee is exploring centrally located institutions among those listed above for conference events in addition to tours.

Mexico City also has a thriving contemporary art and gallery scene supporting young and emerging artists that features installation art utilizing the city’s unique spaces such as the Laboratorio Arte Alameda and Ex Teresa Arte Actual, as well as artists on exchange from other countries.

AMAZING WEATHER, CENTRAL LOCATION, AND SO AFFORDABLE!

Mexico City guarantees an affordable conference experience. In addition to a moderate spring climate in April,  attendees coming from the U.S., Canada, and Europe will be pleasantly surprised by the inexpensive cost of transit, lodging, meals, and other incidental expenses. Mexico City is easily and affordably accessible by air from all major U.S., Canadian, and European cities, with its airport conveniently located just ten kilometers/six miles from the conference hotel. It has a robust taxi network supplemented by popular ride-sharing platforms ($7USD Uber ride from airport to hotel). WiFi is abundant and most telecommunication companies offer affordable coverage options for both voice and data. 

LOWEST HOTEL RATE THIS CENTURY!
[just kidding … but maybe!]

Most larger hotels are located along or near Paseo de la Reforma, the grand boulevard that connects the two main cultural zones of the city. The 2023 ARLIS/NA annual conference will be held at the Hilton Mexico City Reforma, a 5-star property located across from central Alameda Park. The conference group rate is $145USD and all session programming will take place on one floor. 

JOIN US!

We are confident that CPAC and the Texas-Mexico chapter will provide a uniquely welcoming, rewarding, educational, and affordable conference in Mexico City that expands our knowledge of the field, cultivates a more diverse community, and fosters enhanced international relations. 

COMING SOON!

In the weeks and months ahead, please look for the call for program proposals, information about travel, the launch of the conference website, and the first of many reminders to have a valid passport! And if you can’t wait until April 2023 to experience Mexico City, the Texas-Mexico Chapter will be holding its fall meeting in conjunction with CPAC during the second week of August —all are welcome!

Bienvenido a Ciudad de México!

Program Co-chairs Lauren Gottlieb-Miller and Gabrielle Reed
Local Arrangements Co-chairs Fernando Corona and Jon Evans
Executive Board Members Rebecca Price, Mark Pompelia, Rachel Resnik, and Karyn Hinkle

Save the Date: Algemene Ledenvergadering 2022

Beste OKBN-leden,
Het is weer tijd voor onze jaarlijkse Algemene Ledenvergadering. Deze vindt plaats op:

Vrijdag 8 juli 2022 in het TextielMuseum in Tilburg

Programma:
10:00 Ontvangst met koffie en thee
10:30 ALV, met feestelijk afscheid (binnenkort) gepensioneerden
12:30 Lunch
13:30 Brainstorm ‘De toekomst van het OKBN’
15.00 Bezoek tentoonstelling Kleurstof

Verschillende zeer gewaardeerde OKBN-collega’s zullen de komende tijd met pensioen gaan. Naast de algemene zaken zoals bespreking van het jaarverslag en de financiën, reserveren we in deze ALV daarom extra tijd om deze bijna-gepensioneerden in het zonnetje te zetten en samen terug te kijken op de fijne samenwerking.  

Hiernaast wil het bestuur van het OKBN deze ALV graag aangrijpen om samen met jullie, onze leden, een visie te ontwikkelen op de toekomst. Dit zullen we doen tijdens een interactieve brainstormsessie.
Vragen die daarbij aan de orde kunnen komen zijn o.a.: wat zouden de speerpunten van het OKBN moeten zijn de komende jaren? Waar hebben de OKBN-leden behoefte aan? Wat is het bestaansrecht van het OKBN en hoe kunnen we ons verder ontwikkelen?
Om ons voor te bereiden op de brainstorm zullen we jullie binnenkort een korte enquête sturen met vragen over jullie visie op het OKBN.

We hopen – nu zelfs nog meer dan andere jaren – op een grote opkomst!
Aanmelden heel graag vóór 1 juli op info@okbn.nl.

De documenten voor de ALV (agenda, jaarverslag en financiële verantwoording) zullen voor de ALV per mail verspreid worden.

Hartelijke groet,
Bestuur OKBN
