Still taken from an interview with Lucille, Conservator of the Contemporary Art Collections at the George Pompidou Center, Paris.
IIn the video work entitled Restaurer, I interviewed Lucille, Conservator at the George Pompidou Center, Paris. I asked her about taking into consideration the durability of materials used for artworks in contemporary collections, and the problems that this can raise in terms of restoration.
Yves Monnier:
– “From your point of view, is the durability of materials generally taken into account by artists today?”
– “Would you have one or more anecdotes on this subject?”
