The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Institute for the History of Art of the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities – Universidade Nova de Lisboa will hold the international meeting Art Exhibitions: archive, history and research as part of the project History of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundations’s Art Exhibitions – Online Catalogue. 

This meeting aims to stimulate debate about the challenges currently faced in terms of the promotion and publicising of exhibitions, taking into account the technological resources available, the spread and diversification of the related documentation, and the need to classify this information and make it accessible. It also intends to promote the project History of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Art Exhibitions – Online Catalogue, whose realisation follows a recent trend for acknowledging the heritage value of exhibition events and safeguarding their memory.
