Announcement: Fellowship at the Guggenheim Museum in New York
A fellowship is being offered at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum for an
in-depth study of the issues surrounding the preservation of ephemeral
materials and/or electronic media.
The fellow would help coordinate a project funded by the Langlois Foundation
that supports the advancement of the Variable Media Initiative, a strategy
for preserving the artistic integrity of a work through documentation prior
to the obsolescence or deterioration of the primary physical materials.
Responsibilities of the fellow will include: acting as a liaison between the
conservation department, curatorial department, and the archives and
documentation programs.
The fellow will explore, study and collect standards for best practices and
preservation of materials that will include, among others, analog and
electronic media formats. Working with the conservators to implement the
preservation methods, and assisting documentation and curatorial to record
all concerns. The fellow should have an interest in conservation and
documentation practices, as well as a good understanding of the current
contemporary art environment. Familiarity with materials and processes,
including photography, film, magnetic and electronic media formats is
preferable. Knowledge of and interest in relational and object-oriented
databases is a plus.
The fellow will be supervised by representatives from each department:
Curatorial, Conservation, and Archives, Library, & Museum Records. The
project is for one year, the hours are flexible and a modest stipend
offered. Interested candidates should contact Jon Ippolito at
