Research Project
Dealing with the legacy of contemporary artists requires new models for conservation and preservation. In my research project I explore the posthumous caring for artists’ estates in its artistic, cultural, economic, legal, and political dimensions and situate these historically. I investigate the consequences of an expanded preservation outside and beyond existing memory institutions such as museums, archives, libraries, a process that will ultimately amount to tectonic changes in Western memory culture. In doing so I also study the more general potential of this decentralization of knowledge in “networks of care” with private and civil stakeholders.
Research Interest
- History and theory of conservation and restoration
- Practices and processes of preservation, archiving and exhibiting
- Time, temporality and contemporaneity of art
- Methods of observation and mediation
