An update on a new project over at the Tate on the attempt to preserve an installation artwork by the Cuban artist, Carlos Garaicoa. Quoting the short introduction posted on the Conservation Dist List:

"The site includes video interviews with Carlos Garaicoa, the curator and conservators. In addition to exploring some very practical decisions that needed to be made regarding the display and conservation of this work, the site also investigates aspects of Garaicoa's practice and issues connected to the international art scene and Biennale culture. The site aims to provide information of interest to a general audience as well as provide technical information not commonly available to the public."

A previous project documenting a Bruce Nauman's installation artwork can also be accessed from the "Inside Installation" main page on the Tate web-site, which also links to an up-coming symposium and web-cast on "Shifting Practice, Shifting Roles? Artists' Installations and the Museum" (previously posted here).
