Die Zukunft des Tourismus-Archivs Casa Planas ist in Gefahr (via eldiario.es):
“El futuro del archivo de Casa Planas, que atesora más de tres millones de imágenes que retratan la evolución del turismo de masas en Balears, se queda en suspenso. Este tesoro patrimonial presenta graves signos de desgaste en el 20% de su colección y puede desaparecer en 10 años”
“Founded in 2015 by artist Marina Planas, Casa Planas is a collective, non-profit making organisation responding to the pressing need for an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to contemporary creation and the interpretation of tourism in the Balearic Islands.
Spread across 2400m2, Casa Planas encompasses 17 artist studios, an events hall, exhibition spaces, coworking facilities, and Europe’s largest photographic archive devoted to mass tourism. (…)
Since 2015, she has been overseeing one of the world’s largest photographic archives dedicated to tourism and developing her artistic practice. The Casa Planas archive, containing over 3,000,000 images, is situated in Mallorca.”
