Kick-off Meeting, Prague


18/19 January 2023, Archive of Fine Arts / Archiv výtvarného umění, Prague


In January 2023 the participants got together for the first time for a two-day meeting at the Archive of Fine Arts in Prague.


On the first day the main focus was on administrative matters and project planning including finances and dissemination strategy. After the conclusion of the organisational work, the Archive of Fine Arts had arranged a guided tour for the visitors of the exhibition Eva Koťátková at National Gallery by arthistorian Eva Novotná.


The second day was dedicated to the development of research strategy. The partners finalized their requirements for database queries and chose examples for specific case studies (events, persons, institutions etc.) which will be further researched in study workshops during the year.
In the archive, materials were retrieved, magazines, catalogs and other documentation material on specific exhibitions were viewed and discussed.
For the afternoon was planned to visit the second location of the Archive of Fine Arts at DOX Centre for Contemporary Art and in the evening the participants attended the opening of the memorial exhibition of Jiří Hůla (founder of the Archive of Fine Arts).
