The RazUme database is the main tool of Moderna galerija’s Archives Department, which has systematically collected, processed, preserved, published, and provided access to data on and documentary material related to 20th and 21st century visual art since its establishment in 1971. The Archives Department collects data on and material related to exhibitions staged in Slovenia; exhibitions of Slovenian artists abroad; exhibition venues and other spaces of production and presentation of visual art; 20th and 21st century visual artists in Slovenia and Slovenian artists abroad; and writers on 20th and 21st century visual art.
The project focuses on a comprehensive upgrading and updating of the existing RazUme database and program, with the prime objective of developing a contemporary, stable, and user-friendly online application based on a technical database and software upgrade, and including the conception and implementation of a dynamic e-service. This e-service will allow for more efficient collecting, processing, preserving, publishing of, and providing access to, data on and material related to 20th and 21st century visual art.
The updating and optimization of the processes of collecting, processing, preserving, and providing access to data and material will contribute to more efficient work processes in the institution and greatly improve the accessibility of content for the professional public, such as university teachers, researchers, art historians, curators, artists, students, and other interested individuals who use such material and data in their research, exhibitions, publications, and studies.
