*Please excuse cross posting!* Where Artifact Meets Exhibition: Preservation and Exhibit Design July 19th & 20th, 2016 Bechtler Museum of Modern Art Charlotte, NC With today's technology, exhibits are more dynamic, interactive, and sophisticated than ever. However, scientific findings from conservation laboratories frequently indicate the strain exhibition can place on objects. But there is good news: with the right technology and planning, a well-designed exhibit can showcase objects beautifully and safely. This two-day program provides training in the following topics: incorporating preservation into the exhibition planning process; prioritizing conservation concerns while providing interactive experiences; preservation standards for exhibition; appropriate lighting; engineering and fabrication of exhibit cases; collections security; and understanding exhibition space design and construction. The sessions are intended for curators, exhibit designers, preparators, conservators, registrars, security staff, and others involved in exhibition design and installation at cultural institutions. Speakers Include: Gordon Anson, National Gallery of Art Kate Baillon, Levine Museum of the New South Jennifer Castle, The Barnes Foundation Jen Sudul Edwards, Bechtler Museum of Modern Art Jeff Hirsch, Ewing Cole Zach Hudson, The Smithsonian Institution Office of Exhibits Central Scott McGilivray, Sunstates Security, LLC Steven Weintraub, Art Preservation Services Van Wood, SmallCorp Click here for more information and to register!<http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07echtxun0ee466763&llr=ys9myawab> Or visit the Program Calendar at www.ccaha.org<http://www.ccaha.org> Major funding for this program was generously provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, with additional support from The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Independence Foundation, and The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to the exhibition of mid-20th-century modern art.
