Progress: Statements
After the last weeks I came up with some "statements" that I would like to prove (wrong or right) through my project
Current Status,
- Treatment is performed in different “places” responding to different needs:
* Private Practice (for museums, private owners, galleries, auction houses)
* Art Museums
* Archives
* Regional Centers
* Historical Societies
Therefore,
- Treatments performed are different
- Treatment(s) goals/specific objectives are different
- Allowable/suitable/appropriate treatment and treatment extents are different
Statements:
- Treatment is not performed on all photographs
- A greater recognition/understanding of the values of a photograph and its subtleties, has lead to less intervention
- Treatment is driven by other activities and social phenomena such as:
*Exhibition
*Market
*Fashion/Perception of how a photograph should look
- Treatment decision-making is performed by a group of people
From the meeting (with Grant), we concluded I should define hypothetical cases of conservation treatments to present to the interviewees and ask for their opinion. I will further develop this idea.
