The digital dossiers’ creation is determined by one basic principle: in collaboration with the artists. This closeness allows us to follow and show their practice’s development and accompany them in the long-term, in a trusting and cooperative relationship.
The digital dossier brings together a set of information and data chosen with the artist, with the aim of making their process tangible and facilitating the readability of their oeuvre’s.
Each dossier is regularly updated, guaranteeing the collection’s relevance and effectiveness and reflecting an artistic scene as well as contemporary art practices’ evolution.
The DDA Occitanie website has three entries:
- Artists
- In perspective
- About
The Artists entry houses the digital dossiers in alphabetical order of the artists’ names.
Each dossier is organised in three parts:
- The Works page shows a selection of the artist’s work, presents exhibition views, visuals taken from series or single pieces, sketches, models, legends and explanatory notes.
- The Markers page assembles various resources at the artist’s or professionals’ suggestion – keywords, studio views, note- or sketchbooks, references, critiques, audio or filmed interviews…
- The CV page contains information about the artist’s career and contact details for them or their gallery.
The In Perspective entry proposes edited content produced by the DDA Occitanie team or by other professionals: in-depth articles about the contemporary art scene in the Occitania region, critiques on the artists presented in the collection, audio or filmed interviews…
