International Visual Arts Information Network  [IVAIN] is a not-
for-profit company and registered charity, concerned with the
development of interactive multimedia information resources for the
visual arts [with particular emphasis on the twentieth century] both
as museum-based and public information [and management]
resources and as CD publications with world-wide distribution.


As part of these objectives, IVAIN has long been involved
internationally in the seeking of practical solutions and realistic
working arrangements to the problems of intellectual property rights
and digital imaging.


IVAIN has, since mid-1990 compiled and published  ITEM, the
Image Technology in European Museums and art galleries database
twice-yearly [in paper and on floppy disc- MAC and PC] with
subscribers in more than 20 countries world-wide. subscription
basis.  ITEM has a long standing association with the Clearinghouse
at the Thomas J Watson Library, Metropolitan Museum, New York
and is now published by IVAIN in partnership with CIDOC, the
documentation committee of ICOM.  It is hoped to make ITEM
available on-line in the near future.


Currently IVAIN is the lead partner in an international consortium
project for the development and publication of a multi-lingual
interactive multimedia resource on the leading twentieth century
sculptor Constantin Brancusi, for world-wide publication as a CD,
prior to the 1995 Paris and Philadelphia retrospective exhibition of
his work. and the subsequent planned re-opening of the Brancusi
Studio at Centre Georges Pompidou.


IVAIN is involved in discussions on the possible network access to
the ITEM database in collaboration with Clearinghouse and others -
and is a member of the Working Group seeking to develop the
emergent Arts on GreenNet into a European/International Computer
Network for the Arts.
