SFMOMA ARTIST INITIATIVE SYMPOSIUM: REPRINTING COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS AS A PRESERVATION STRATEGY Friday, May 10, 2019
Phyllis Wattis Theater San Francisco Museum of Modern Art The practice of reprinting damaged photographic artworks as a preservation strategy has increasingly become a topic of research in conservation, as well as a matter of debate amongst conservators, curators, and artists. SFMOMA's Artist Initiative, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aims to redefine the museum's approach to reprinting, and more broadly to the acquisition, stewardship, and display of contemporary photography. In the first phase of the project, a cross-disciplinary team of curators, conservators, and art historians interviewed photographers who are interested in reprinting their work in SFMOMA's collection. A second phase of the project saw the team travel to meet with colleagues in American and European institutions to share our findings and learn about their experiences. On May 10, 2019, SFMOMA will host a symposium where research findings will be shared and artists, curators, conservators, and others from the field of photography will be invited to contribute and engage in an open discussion on this important subject. A detailed program, including confirmed speakers, panelists and chairs, will be available soon. SFMOMA Artist Initiative Symposium is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
