At this moment I'm working on a documentary produced by Michiel Hogenboom and commissioned by The Dutch Foundation for the Conservation of Contemporary Art.
A conservator deals with a lot of new issues concerning the conservation of contemporary art; what’s happening behind the scenes in museums nowadays? Three interesting case studies will be highlighted in the documentary: works by Olafur Eliasson, Bill Seaman and Tino Sehgal.
