And the winners are…..

The first INCCA Virtual Content Party (VCP) came to and end last Thursday May 31st and I am pleased to announce the winners of the five book packages. Admittedly some of the winners had entered records just before or even just after the party period, but as this was our first VCP, I will not be too strict. The next VCP will be different however! Posted by Karen te Brake-Baldock.

1st place:

Barbara Horvath, registrar and collection management, Thyssen-Bornemisza,Art Contemporary,

5th place:

Emy Kim, student MA in Fine Arts Conservation at New York University also

added a record just after joining last year. Again, outside of the VCP,

but I believe worthy of a package as she did do very soon after joining

and was the first student brave enough to add a record into INCCA into the

new system.

- Interview with Lynn Cooke regarding Hanne Darboven

Well done to all. Your books will be sent out shortly.
