Museum Of Arte Útil

The archive as a tool #1

This week the Arte Útil Archive will travel to the Jan van Eyck in Maastricht. During the Open Studios (19-21 Feb) researcher and Arte Útil team member Alessandra Saviotti will present a selection of case studies in relationship with some strategies analysed in the exhibition. From the 19th to the 21st of February visitors will be encouraged to discuss with her the meaning of Alegal, Institutional Repurpose and Space Hijack in the frame of three different workshops.

The whole online archive will be available in her studio as well as ‘Toward a Lexicon of Usership‘, a lexicon of terms written by theorist Stephen Wright for the Museum of Arte Útil that will serve as a textual tool kit for users.
