Heart of artwork   (French Equivalent: Cœur de l'œuvre d'art)

DefinitionBecause of the performance aspects of many installations, conservators working with this medium will need to look beyond the material and consider that the 'heart' of a work might lie primarily in its less-tangible qualities. Preserving for the future something that is above all an experience might require conservators to take a more fluid view of what may or may not be changed about a work, challenging conventional notions of accuracy and authenticity.
