Researching a catalogue raisonné can be a time-consuming project. The Navigating.art platform helps researchers manage their workflow and monitor progress efficiently.
Creating a catalogue raisonné can be a complex and demanding project that requires thorough research, verification, and publication planning. Entering and confirming data can be especially cumbersome for prolific artists with wide-ranging oeuvres and works with extensive movement histories. Effectively planning and organizing the project from the beginning can help teams benefit from a smooth preparation and publication process.
Organizing a catalogue raisonné project within teams
Because preparing a catalogue raisonné requires such a wide range of skills, it’s often completed by a team rather than an individual. When collaborating, it's crucial to record all tasks in one place to avoid overlooking anything during the research and preparation phases. The Navigating.art platform allows users to create and manage tasks directly within the system, eliminating the need for an additional management tool.
Assigning responsibilities
Divulging work within a team is beneficial. Navigating.art’s task manager allows teams to assign responsibilities to specific team members, ensuring accountability and preventing any preparational work from being overlooked. Each team member can access their assigned responsibilities through a personalized overview, where they can add comments and update their progress.
Keeping track of responsibilities in Navigating.art
Scholars often work on multiple activities simultaneously during research, as they must gather and compile information for numerous works. Staying organized is essential given the extensive workload that typically arises before the catalog's publication. This is especially important in a team setting. Monitoring individual responsibilities is crucial, as each team member’s work often depends on others' contributions. It helps to have a clear overview of all responsibilities to ensure progress is managed effectively and work is carried out diligently. Tracking the status of each step in the Navigating.art platform provides insights into the progress of the project and maintains overall clarity.
Dive right into the task
The Navigating.art platform allows researchers to document all steps with direct links to the entries mentioned in each task. It’s a small feature that dramatically increases the speed of getting started and working on the intended entry. With so many untitled and similarly titled works, publications, and exhibitions, the links ensure researchers complete the correct tasks on the correct entries.
