This conference asks questions about the sustainability of those practices and networks of care. SUSTAINING ART sees conservators, artists, curators, technicians, collectors, researchers and more, coming together to challenge assumptions, examine practices, and imagine equitable futures. Through experience pieces, research talks, panel discussions, workshops, and short films the sustainability of people, practices, and the planet will be pursued in relation to the conservation of contemporary art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-70338fcd\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-56f66378\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sustaining Art: People, Practice and Planet | Annet Dekker\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wj_SfS6vWzc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-4580d923\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-64d06f4cc6ce0f1b4bea6c74d4baac81\" style=\"color:#000000\">Gabriella Giannachi<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-432a3d058dfabf52b02826e108025ccc\" style=\"color:#7e9b86\"><strong>Documenting documentation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Documenting documentation&#8217; analyses the role of documentation in a range of contexts (e.g.amateur, researcher, artist, conservator) to show that documentation should not be reduced to a canonic practice, set of skills and disciplinary approaches, but rather that it must remain an open and iterative practice, available to all. The paper focuses on a number of works that are by definition complex, participatory and hybrid, to show how documentation not only helps towards building an understanding of a work, identifying the conditions for its future activation, but also help us to engage with the work, and become part of the memory of the work, and, conversely, create future memories of it by expanding the wider \u2018network of care\u2019 that maintains the work<br>alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dd5c23e3a91299959aea93cf300dc363\" style=\"color:#7e9b86\"><strong>About <\/strong>Gabriella Giannachi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gabriella Giannachi is Professor in Performance and New Media at the University of Exeter, UK, and Visiting Professor at the University of Turin, Italy.

Documentation and Art-Handling Artists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When COVID-19 hit in the spring of 2020, the artists behind public-group.net used their skills and creativity to make their projects accessible to a world in lockdown by developing an ingenious virtual 360\u00b0 walk-through. Familiar with contemporary conservation concerns like the inevitable physical absence of a work following deinstallation because of their art handling experience in various museums, they approached the Kunstsammlung\u2019s conservation department with the idea<br>to test the tool\u2019s use for documentation purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the museum was closed to the public during lockdown, artists and conservators joined forces in the experiment of creating a virtual walk-through of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller\u2019s immersive installation The Dark Pool. As this artwork was due to be dismantled after a period of 10 years of being on view, expanding our documentation toolkit towards the virtual seemed worth exploring, especially in view of the uncertainty when the resources to reinstall it would next be made available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The virtual walk-through of The Dark Pool resulted not only in an extraordinary re-installation aid for when this time comes but also safeguards it by providing a way to study and experience the work while it is lying dormant in storage. The realisation of this project is a testament to the value of having practicing artists as part of our conservation networks of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fc089157018188cf1a1644de6e712181\" style=\"color:#7e9b86\"><strong>About <\/strong>Nina Quabeck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2019, Nina Quabeck holds the position of Head of Conservation at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in D\u00fcsseldorf.

Is essence the same as consistency? On the other hand, it addresses the<br>question of the passage of time in works of art, understanding it as an essential property of the entity. Thus, duration would be the way in which a reality persists in time, a way that cannot be<br>modified, the concrete internal time of the artwork being a property to be studied. At the same time, it studies the concept of death as an absolute temporal limit, and specifies the different<br>intervals in the existence of the contemporary work of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c7b123c7465c72f71cbbe256bbbb0923\" style=\"color:#7e9b86\"><strong>About <\/strong>Rosario Llamas-Pacheco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor \/ Catedr\u00e1tica de Universidad.

Reflections on sustainability in media art archives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Damaged, deceased works of art are examined for their remains, materials, artefacts, and storage in the context of long-term preservation. When reducing the research area to media art,<br>it is critical to emphasize their changeability and variability, as well as the fact that its quickly become obsolete due to rapid technological advancements. During the investigation, it was<br>determined what happens to the specified broken pieces of media art, whether they are still stored and wasting precious warehouse space; their inventory and legal status, and whether they<br>are sustainable. Examples of active use of such artefacts-archives will be presented as reasons for and against their preservation. The main subject of research will be the Reincarnation of Media Art exhibition (WRO Art Center in Wroclaw), which will focus on an anarchist perspective on archives, work reuse, and possible preservation liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ac8f0ff155cdc27de0e960e4d2ff5135\" style=\"color:#7e9b86\"><strong>About Sonia Milewska<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Art conservator, media art researcher.
