What Are the Information Cards Next to Art at a Museam
| 16:51 Jan 11, 2009 I just came across this question while doing some enquiry. I've been doing translations for a museum of fine art for many years, and what the apply all the time is "object label" or "exhibit label". |
| 16:48 January 5, 2009 The information is shared on the label, on the plaque (plate, artist data tag), in the catalogues and wherever else it could be printed. I know information technology by my ain experience, but - the asker asked for a term which would be recognised immediately. |
| 13:09 Jan 5, 2009 Lamentable to add to the verbiage, but Alexondra is wrong - "characterization" is used both for the paper stuck to the dorsum AND for the bill of fare on the wall beside the painting. I had covered this with the references I supplied. |
| 16:30 January iv, 2009 I recollect you could say "information plaque", though it implies something more rigid than a carte - "Each motion-picture show will be in a replica frame, and have an information plaque next to it – merely equally it has in the real Gallery." ref coming... |
| ASKER | Which is precisely why I didn't apply label (or detect it helpful) . . . I felt if I used "label," the reader probably xvi:05 Jan iv, 2009 would have idea I was referring to something stuck to the painting, forepart OR back, and not the plaque side by side to the painting. In fact, using "plaque" now, I see it would indeed take worked well to write "the descriptive plaque next to the painting." I was just as well pressured and tired to realize information technology until at present. Oh dear. Who said "plaque"? Oh, it was you, Alexondra, at the bottom of your reply. . . SO sorry. I don't think it'due south possible for me to re-open the question, accept the points abroad from David and give them to you. Even if I could, I virtually Cartel non . . . anticipating the reaction to THAT. I Practice apologize. Can yous exist happy with the satisfaction of knowing y'all were RIGHT??? |
| 08:41 Jan four, 2009 The label - is a "sticky" put on the dorsum of the right upper corner of the frame of the picture show. Information technology is created for exibition organizers indicating which hall of a gallery and verbal space where the painting will be hung. The information - is very specific |
| ASKER | On 2nd thought, to sooth whatever ruffled feathers and 21:18 Jan 3, 2009 pacify the mild outrage, I have decided to laurels points to "label" since that may be the "right" answer to my question, fifty-fifty though it was not helpful to me. In the future, it may evidence useful to someone else. |
| ASKER | Unfortunately and quite honestly, this fourth dimension, Robert, no, I did not find whatsoever ane respond particularly helpful or any more 21:12 Jan 3, 2009 helpful than another. Tired and under extreme pressure, and unable to think of a word myself, I decided to throw information technology out, not at all expecting all the answers and discussion generated. I approximate I assumed someone with a clearer mind than mine would know right away. None of the suggestions, fifty-fifty "label" which seems to be the give-and-take used in the art world, expressed precisely what I wanted. Equally a ProZ member who too answers KudoZ questions to assist my fellow ProZians, I know much attempt can exist involved in finding a helpful answer. I cannot do annihilation but thank everyone for their efforts, as I accept already, and do once more now. |
| 18:08 January three, 2009 After all, a proffer offered need non exist ane that you lot utilise in order to receive points. You merely need to have considered it "helpful". Have you and then found none of the vii possibilities suggested to y'all "helpful" in any manner? |
| 18:06 January iii, 2009 Suzan: Not that it is an issue of transcendent importance, but I find it mildly outrageous that, after all the effort and discussion put forward to respond to your question, you did non see fit to accolade points to any of the answers offered. (cont'd). |
| xviii:01 Jan 3, 2009 I'd rather read the exhibition label than the art tag card! |
| Too late... 17:22 Jan 3, 2009 I've spotted this too tardily, but a couple of thoughts came straight to me: first was the word "caption" - not wild, only a niggling surprised not to encounter it mentioned. The other was "text accompanying artwork" The problem is that neither of these is physically what yous describe, just they might help for future reference! |
| David Moore (10) | 16:09 Jan iii, 2009 Not to worry: information technology's a problem for the states all at one time or some other, but if it does come to yous, perhaps y'all'd share it with us? |
| ASKER | Ooops! Clicked "add note" before I was finished. 15:57 Jan 3, 2009 Working under with a "yesterday" deadline, I didn't have time to read all links. Again, sorry. Label may actually be the name museums apply, but only didn't have the correct feel for the text. Plaque came closer to what I wanted . . . probably, simply still didn't sit right with me. I was merely hoping someone would leape up and yell "____", that's what the thing is called, and it would also fit the tone, exist understandable to the audience . . .and exist the term that I feel is just hovering there on the tip of my brain, but I can't, still, access. |
| ASKER | Sorry, David. I was referring to David Russi. Got the two of you mixed upwards. 15:51 Jan 3, 2009 |
| David Moore (X) | 15:24 Jan iii, 2009 Your privilege, but I thought my answer was articulate enough that I was as well talking paintings, and NOT CDs. Did you google the links given? |
| ASKER | THANK Yous EVERYONE, for your contributions 14:52 January 3, 2009 and also for the somewhat amsuing discussion going on hither. David, I idea I fabricated information technology quite clear that I was talking nearly paintings hanging in a museum or gallery, not CDs . . . . didn't know how to reply to your answer. Label seems close, merely not quite what I wanted, and but at present, Alexondra, saw Painting Alphabetize Plaque . . . I recollect plaque might have worked, but since borderline was earlier that was posted, I had gone ahead with "description accompanying the painting." Seemed the best idea at the time, and however does. Again, give thanks you lot all. Now stop bickering. Gary, David, I'yard talking to y'all. |
| 12:58 Jan 3, 2009 Information technology should be "an index plate" then. Because each of works could be identified in Index catalogue. Non necessarily all of information is revealed in the plate. |
| David Moore (Ten) | 12:45 January 3, 2009 national galleries tend to concentrate, isn't it? |
| David Moore (X) | 12:44 Jan 3, 2009 I'm a piffling unsure as to whether "arty(-farty)" isn't a niggling off beam here; I don't think the boilerplate visitor to the Tate or National would care to be tagged "arty". It'south really more of a description for "neo-artists" than the classics on which the... |
| 12:24 Jan three, 2009 information tag - is an object, it is an index plate |
| 12:05 Jan 3, 2009 Try saying.. with a glass of Champers, wearing a long evening dress and high heals, "What does the characterization say" and "What does the Tag say" maybe you will be libation with the word Tag? We are all guessing equally every art-house volition be different... |
| 12:00 Jan three, 2009 Your reply of a label didn't fit (for Me) as it didn't seem "High-sounding" enough. Nevertheless "Tag" seams to fit the mold as nosotros have popular out tags on the PC and artist's seam to tag their work past their signature. I didn't agree or disagree every bit information technology is Suzans choice. |
| 11:52 January 3, 2009 David, maybe this is why I didn't post it as a answer?? Equally there seams to be no recognized term for the "Artists details tag" attached to the painting, then Suzan will have to make a choice out of what she believes to exist most suitable..... |
| David Moore (X) | 10:35 Jan three, 2009 Probably almost of them refer to records/recording "artists" |
| David Moore (10) | x:34 Jan 3, 2009 Gary: I'm not pitchinmg fot points, simply did you actually ready any of the sites? |
