Artists pay way more attention to the presentation of their work than academics. So for this assignment on parallels in photography and painting I experimented with printing posters of the works to be discussed in their original size (about 1m by 2m) /1

Integrating images is in the works. IMMARKUS ( immarkus.xmarkus.org ) is already great for annotating locally saved images (entities & relations) and filtering images and their parts in a knowledge graph; working with IIIF images from museums and libraries around the world is on the way /1

Het was aanschuiven bij Museum Voorlinden voor Michaël Borremans. En ook wel emotioneel voor deze toeschouwster: een terugblik op het fenomenale levenswerk van een dierbare, en de ironie om net dit werk over vervreemding gecommodifieerd te zien in de Museumshop.

Niet dus, ook THE plaatst Leuven 30 plaatsen hoger dan Leiden in het algemeen, en ook hoger in Arts &Humanities dan Leiden èn Amsterdam. (Engelstalige opleidingen dragen idd bij tot score; dat ze "kleine opleidingen in de lucht houden" is eerder onduidelijk.)
