Lunch and Lecture: El Anatsui: Adventures in Installation and Conservation
Saturday, May 26 | 11 amEast Building | Museum Auditorium
$23 Members (per session)
$28 Nonmembers (per session)
Perry Hurt, NCMA associate conservator, began researching conservation issues related to Anatsui’s work when the Museum commissioned a large (18 × 25 foot) metal wall sculpture for West Building. Hear about how Anatsui encourages owners of his art to customize the work by manipulating the folds and shape. Installation becomes a collaborative process, but it often results in broken wires, bent metal, and the loss of small parts. Discover how museum professionals handle these conservation challenges.
These seminars begin with a lecture by curators or other experts, and the discussion continues over a lunch catered by Iris, the Museum Restaurant. Register online, by calling (919) 715-5923, or in person at the NCMA Box Office. Registration and payment for the combined program required by 4 pm on the Wednesday before the event.
