A MAP for HEMI: Cataloging Performance Art Videos

Hailing from Minneapolis, Dana is at Pratt to focus on archives and special collections—striving to provide inclusive access, to elevate marginalized voices, and to dig through all the cool stuff.

Eve currently works for Whirl-i-Gig, the creator of the open source software Collective Access. At Whirl-i-gig, Eve performs data modeling and develops digital management solutions for clients including museums and artist endowed foundations. Before joining Whirl-i-gig in 2019, Eve worked as the Collection Information and Digital Asset Manager at the Joan Mitchell Foundation. In her five-year tenure at the Joan Mitchell Foundation, Eve built a custom database solution that successfully supports the foundation’s collection management, image management and catalogue raisonné research. Eve’s background as a museum registrar informs her ability to represent inherently complex artworks, exhibition environments and workflows within the structure of a relational database. As a freelance database developer, she has worked on projects for The National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress and The Association for Recorded Sound Collections.
