We will hear from three speakers who will present on specific case studies and consider how conservation thinking and practice is responding to objects that incorporate light, sound or movement.
In what ways do modern and contemporary sculptures perform? How are supposedly “static” objects or their materials in fact animated, how is the sound, light or movement activated?, and how might these objects be further understood by conservators?
In what ways does exhibition, display, research, and other forms of engagement make these objects come alive?
Following on from the presentations, our 3 speakers will then join a panel followed by an open discussion with you, our audience.
