ABSTRACT

In response to contemporary art forms and related conservation and presentation challenges, a research initiative at Cologne Institute of Conservation Sciences reconsidered the renowned Decision-Making Model for the Conservation and Restoration of Modern and Contemporary Art. Since its publication in 1999, the model has served as a valuable tool for navigating through complex problems in modern and contemporary art conservation. Nevertheless, within the last decades, a need for revision has been revealed. To provide an updated guidance for conservation and presentation decisions, a multi-disciplinary working group re-evaluated the model within the context of recent research results and case studies, thereby considering: (1) the starting point in the individual case, (2) the often complex biographies of artworks, (3) the dynamics in decision-making, and (4) the juxtaposition of the current and desired state of an artwork to include decisions regarding preventive conservation and the presentation of ephemeral or inherently evolving artworks. Fish Flies on Sky (1985/95), a video installation by Nam June Paik, serves as an example to illustrate the different steps of the model. The research initiative was organized by Cologne Institute of Conservation Sciences, the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands, and Maastricht University.

摘要

为应对当代艺术形式以及相关的保护和展示挑战，科隆保护科学研究所的一项研究计划重新考虑了著名的现当代艺术保护和修复决策模型. 自 1999 年出版以来，该模型一直是解决现代和当代艺术保护中复杂问题的宝贵工具。然而，在过去的几十年里，已经显示出需要进行修订。为了为保护和展示决策提供更新的指导，一个多学科工作组在最近的研究结果和案例研究的背景下重新评估了该模型，从而考虑：（1）个别案例的起点，（2）通常复杂的艺术品传记，(3) 决策的动态，以及 (4) 艺术品当前和理想状态的并列，包括关于预防性保护和展示短暂或内在演变的艺术品的决定。鱼在天上飞(1985/95) 是 Nam June Paik 的视频装置，作为一个例子来说明模型的不同步骤。该研究计划由科隆保护科学研究所、荷兰文化遗产局和马斯特里赫特大学组织。
