Abstract

In this article, we argue the need for documentation centers in contemporary art museums to use cataloguing processes, in particular, and information management, in general, to build new audiences and to create communities of sense around their collections. The starting question is how to make catalographic description a channel for collaboration that connects all involved parties: archivists, artists, curators, art critics, activists, researchers, other related professionals, and even visitors, both inside and outside of the museum. Taking the category of conceptual art as a case study, this research analyses the effectiveness of social tagging tools used by standardized cataloguing models.
