Doel van het project
Internationale kennisdeling op gebied van hedendaagse kunst
May 1st 2009 marks the start of a new two-year European project for interdisciplinary collaborative research, sharing knowledge and learning about the conservation of contemporary art. PRACTICs (Practices, Research, Access, Collaboration, Teaching In Conservation of contemporary art) stands for excellence and innovation in conservation research, a profound will to share knowledge and experiences and continuous collaboration in knowledge development and education. 34 leading European museums, institutions and universities join hands to assess and implement knowledge gained through European projects of the last decade. In addition, this project will set the course for key issues of conservation, preservation, education and public access to conservation.
The project is managed by the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage (ICN) and co-organised by five other European organisations that in turn collaborate with (national) partners. Co-organisers are: Tate, England; Restaurierungzentrum Düsseldorf, Germany; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Spain; Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (SMAK), Belgium and the Foundation for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (SBMK), The Netherlands. This group of co-organisers also collaborated on the successful project Inside Installations (2004-2007). The congress Modern Art: Who Cares? II, planned to take place in Amsterdam, 9-11 June 2010 will be just one of the highlights of this project.
