Of particular interest are the processes through which collected objects became sources of artisanal, artistic, or scientific knowledge and innovation. Users and beholders of collections were invited to observe, investigate, depict, and question individual objects and their interrelationships, and as such, collections could become ‘catalysts of knowledge’.Workshop is free of charge, but places are limited, so please register online at : http://www.kunstwetenschappen.ugent.be/catalystsofknowledgeProgramme :10.00-12.15Session 1: Collecting in the Southern NetherlandsSession chair: Koenraad JonckheereMarlise RijksThe epistemology of collecting.
