| Definition | The most conservative collecting strategy "the default strategy for most museums" is to store a work physically. Storing one of Dan Flavin's fluorescent light installations simply means buying a supply of the out-of-production bulbs and putting them in a crate. The major disadvantage of storing obsolescent materials is that the artwork will expire once these ephemeral materials cease to function. http://www.variablemedia.net/e/preserving/html/var_pub_index.html |
