CODART ACHT Congress: program
CODART ACHT congress, 6-8 March 2005, Haarlem
As in previous years, this congress will be composed of a number of fixed items. The focus of this year’s CODART is Dutch and Flemish art in Swedish collections, the plenary program will provide the opportunity to learn more on this subject. The various aspects of the permanent collection will be discussed in a workshop. There is the chance to introduce a future project for which you are seeking a partner during the members meeting. Join the excursions in Haarlem, or Alkmaar & Hoorn. Your choices concerning the workshops and excursions can be made on the registration form.
Workshops
The theme of three of the four workshops will be permanent collections. At each of the workshops three speakers will talk on various facets of the theme:
(1) The changing role of the curator. This workshop is chaired by Manfred Sellink, director of the Stedelijke Musea Brugge. Speakers are Roman Grigoryev (head of department of prints, The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg), Bernd Wolfgang Lindemann (director, Gemäldegalerie, Berlin) and Ron Spronk (research curator, Harvard University Art Museums, Cambridge).
(2) Different ways of presenting the permanent collection, chaired by Peter Schoon, director of the Dordrechts Museum. Speakers are Gregor J.M. Weber (chief curator, Staatliche Museen – Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Kassel), Michiel Kersten (head of collection management and communication, Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem) and Wouter Kloek (curator of special projects, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam).

Speakers are Paul Huijs Jansen (curator, Noordbrabants museum, Den Bosch), Peter van den Brink (director, Aachen City Museums, Aachen) and George Keyes (curator of European paintings, Detroit Institute of Fine Arts, Detroit).
