This event featured a book that revisits the traditional notions of conservation and museum collecting that developed over the centuries to suit a conception of art as static, fixed, and permanent objects. Conservators and museum professionals increasingly struggle with issues of conservation for works created from the mid-twentieth to the twenty-first century that are unstable over time. As participants in conservation, the contributors to this volume—often non-conservators—form a community of practice that share common interests. The event featured an introduction by the book’s editor, Hanna B. Hölling and presentations by contributing authors: Hannah B Higgins, Gregory Zinman, Andrea Gyorody and Megan Mefcalf, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A moderated by Jules Pelta Feldman.
