The Contemporary Art Network (CAN!) of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) invites you to:
Spring CAN! Conversations: Contextualizing the decision-making model in contemporary art conservation
April 9, 2021 12:00pm - 1:30pm EST
Conversation panelists include Julia Betancor, Miroslaw Wachowiak, Mareike Opeña, and Joy Bloser. Organized by Martha Singer
Join us for this inaugural CAN! Conversation exploring the different contexts of decision-making with a moderated Q&A to follow. Free event (and free registration with AIC is required)
Decision-making models in conservation are predominantly designed for practice within the museum. Conservation, however, occurs in many non-museum contexts. How does decision-making shift to accommodate these distinct contexts beyond the museum? Conservation of contemporary art recognizes special categories of stakeholders, like the artist, their assistants, and/or estates - but how do other stakeholders such as galleries, auction houses, and collectors influence our practice? How can we broaden decision-making models to accurately represent and embrace these other factors? Each panelist represents a unique context in contemporary art conservation, including working for a private collection, kunsthalle, academia, private practice, and a museum.
