A painting in 100 years is still paint on its support and hangs on a wall, but time-based media will always change due to evolutions in technology and changes in performers and/or venues. As collections stewards, #ARCSchat will discuss how they actively protect the legacy of the artist and their work as it ages along with the technologies and personnel that present these pieces.

Panel:

sasha arden (they/them): Time-Based Media Conservator

Diego Mellado (he/him): Technical Director, Studio Daniel Canogar

Kate Weinstein (she/her): Collections Manager & Registrar, Thoma Foundation
