Save the date - INCCA Miniseries on Jenny Holzer

Posted on Fri, 11/15/2024 - 12:51

Date and time

-

This December, INCCA will delve into the conservation of LEDs with a particular focus on Jenny Holzer’s work.

Over two sessions and through several case studies and contributions, we’ll explore topics such as documentation, ethics and how to manage institutional memory, as well as LED technology and aspects of repair and replacement. In an informal setting, we hope to generate productive discussions that can benefit conservators working with these complex works and technologies.

This event series is hosted by INCCA’s Resource Group for Light-based Art. 

INCCA Resource Groups are small networks where members regularly reconvene online to exchange experiences within a particular area of contemporary art conservation. INCCA’s first Resource Group was established in 2023 and focuses on light-based art. Along with productive discussions, this group has also organized an INCCA Café series on LEDs focusing on Jenny Holzer's work. The aim of Resource Groups is to provide support and networking among conservators with different levels of expertise, to encourage shared problem-solving and to increase connectivity among international colleagues. If you would be interested in starting up a Resource Group or joining an existing one, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
