Project Conservation Media art Collection Netherlands completed

Posted on Mon, 11/19/2012 - 09:58
In 2010 the Dutch Foundation for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (SBMK) and the Netherlands Media Art Institute (NIMk) started a two year project Conservation Media Art Collection Netherlands. Media Art has been incorporated in contemporary art collections in Dutch museums since the mid seventies. Even though these works were frequently exhibited, they were difficult to access outside of exhibitions, and were only partially conserved. The project aimed to ensure enduring accessibility through contributing to conservation strategies for video art works in art collections in the Netherlands. On the occasion of the completion of the project, two publications were released. Both publications include a summary in English and are available as PDF online (see links below). To request free printed copies send an email to info@smbk.nl.
