Abstract
Documentation Centers and Archives in contemporary art museums have the potential capacity to use cataloguing processes and information management in general to build new audiences and to create communities of sense around their collections. The starting question is how to make catalographic description a channel for collaboration, connecting all involved parties: archivists, artists, curators, art critics, activists, researchers, other related professionals, and even visitors, both inside and outside of the museum. This paper elaborates in a model derived from a questionary covering a number of Latin American contemporary art museums.
