That different editors will approach their tasks differently in the museum is unavoidable. Yet this is all the more reason for criteria to be applied consistently and, even more important, that they be explained and their logic made accessible to users. The key to the catalogue entries found below outlines the selection criteria for inclusion into one of the three separate registers in the catalogue raisonné, and elucidates the individual categories.

Martín La Roche Contreras

Born in Santiago Chile (1988), he is a visual artist living in Amsterdam. His works often find their starting points from existing collections of objects and memories, archives as modes of storytelling which he reassembles into installations, performances or publications.
