On Wednesday, October 14and Thursday, October15, within this year’s program of the Open Door Days – Institute of Art History, a two-day workshop will be held at the Institute’s photo lab. The participants in the workshop will be introduced to the current phase of digitizing analogue b/w negatives fromthe Branko Balić photo archives. This valuable collection, stored at the Institute since 1977, contains about 12 000 b/w negatives and it is this photographer’s lasting legacy. Through working with the workshop leaders (Irena Šimić, Paolo Mofardin) and collaborating with the visiting experts, the participants will gain practical expertise and discuss some of the fundamental issues concerning the digitization process: what, how and why to digitize, which options and procedures are available and how to digitally process, supply and store the new photographs. You have to sign up for the workshop in advance, till Friday, October 9, 2015, via e-mail isimic@ipu.hr.
