On this week’s show we continue expanding our perspective on the conservation field with contemporary art conservator Flaminia Fortunato. For the past two years Flaminia has served as the Stedelijk Museum’s first-ever time-based media art conservator, and prior to this held fellowships at MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and more. In our chat we hear all about Flaminia’s origins growing up in the south of Italy, and her conservation education that began with very traditional roots in Venice, and expanded to the (at the time) only recently established field of contemporary art conservation, as well as scientific and analytical materials research.Tune in to hear Flaminia’s story!Links from the conversation with Flaminia> A Race Against Time: Preserving iOS App-Based Artworks https://resources.culturalheritage.org/emg-review/volume-6-2019-2020/heinen/Get access to exlusive content - join us on Patreon!> https://patreon.com/artobsolescenceJoin the conversation:https://twitter.com/ArtObsolescencehttps://www.instagram.com/artobsolescence/Support artistsArt and Obsolescence is a non-profit podcast, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, and we are committed to equitably supporting artists that come on the show.
