Arte Útil Archive 2.0
Arte Útil Archive 2.0: https://arte-util.org
Collective Works and allsiz.es designed the second iteration of the Arte Útil Archive website in collaboration with Alessandra Saviotti and Gemma Medina Estupiñán. This project builds on the initial database, which was developed as part of Constructlab for Tania Bruguera’s exhibition “The Museum of Arte Útil” at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven in 2014.
Now functioning as a standalone platform, the Arte Útil Archive serves the Asociación de Arte Útil and the diverse range of cultural players that are part of it. The updated website continues to make the archive’s expansive collection of case studies accessible, showcasing projects that transform art into a tool for social change.
This upgrade ensures that the platform remains a dynamic and adaptable resource, supporting cultural practitioners and institutions committed to rethinking the role of art in society.
