Description
Summary:The Canada Council Art Bank owns the world’s largest collection of contemporary Canadian art. This relational dataset starts from a sample of 38 focus events (or exhibitions) to examine patterns amongst the 1021 artworks, their 552 artists, and the tracking history of 10,968 total events where these artworks were displayed. To create this dataset, multiple sources including the Art Bank’s open data, archival and oral research, and downloads from their in-house database were used. The dynamic amongst artworks, artists, and the tracking history addresses the essence of event-centric relationships to public art institutions in the current climate of contending with difficult cyclical histories.
