Original Objects and Abstractions: Collecting and Information Exchange in the Digital Age

This episode of Henry ArtCasts explores different aspects of collecting and information exchange through a series of three conversations. The first section includes excerpts from a discussion between Seattle collectors William and Ruth True and the Henry’s Chief Curator Elizabeth Brown that occurred in conjunction with the closing of the exhibition Mouth Open, Teeth Showing. Then, Curator of Collections Judy Sourakli speaks about the new Digital Interactive Galleries project for which the Henry received funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Finally, Rebeca Bollinger discusses her current installation at the Henry and the way the digital information exchange comes into play in her work.
