What’s your subject for this year’s Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thons?
ThisSaturday at MoMA, I’ll be working on Elodie Courter, who organized MoMA’s traveling exhibitions in the 1930s and 1940s. She and her team helped to inform a worldwide interest in modern art, architecture, and design.
Here she is with Elements of Design, an exhibition of 24 bold panels that could be sent through the mail and installed virtually anywhere.
So pack up your laptop, travel on over, and install yourself at the Edit-a-thon for hands-on training as well as guidance from experienced editors. We’ll kick off with a panel discussion about activism, have trainings and breakout sessions throughout the day, and then end with cake and a toast. Child care, food, and caffeine provided. RSVP here. -jt

Arecent researcher was so eager to consult Judy Malloy’s digital literature she was willing to bring along a vintage Apple to the Library. Thanks to the Museum’s Media Conservation team she didn’t have to–they set up an emulation instead.
Malloy has been experimenting with digital media since, well, the floppy disk era. A personal favorite is the “questionable database” Bad Information (1986-). Most recently she edited the print anthology Women, Art, and Technology(2003).
In addition to A Party in Woodside (1987) and numerous analog artists’ books, the Library holds a copy of Uncle Roger (1987), considered one of the first works of interactive fiction. -jt
