Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
How do you keep the cracks in Starry Night from spreading? How do you prevent artworks made of hugs or candies from disappearing? How do you render a fading photograph eternalor should you attempt it at all? These are some of the questions that conservators, curators, registrars, and exhibition designers dealing with contemporary art face on a daily basis. In Still Life, Fernando Domnguez Rubio delves into one of the most important museums of the world, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, to explore the daytoday dilemmas that museum workers face when the immortal artworks that we see in the exhibition room reveal themselves to be slowly unfolding disasters.Still Life offers a fascinating and detailed ethnographic account of what it takes to prevent these disasters from happening. Going behind the scenes at MoMA, Domnguez Rubio provides a rare view of the vast technological apparatusfrom climatic infrastructures and storage facilities, to conservation labs and machine roomsand teams of workersfrom conservators and engineers to guards and courierswho fight to hold artworks still.As MoMA reopens after a massive expansion and rearranging of its space and collections, Still Life not only offers a muchneeded account of the spaces, actors, and forms of labor traditionally left out of the main narratives of art, but it also offers a timely meditation on how far we, as a society, are willing to go to keep the things we value from disappearing into oblivion.
