Tomorrow afternoon, from 1:20-2:00pm (EST), Lisa Elkin, Jim Coddington, and Cindy Albertson will be guests on The Leonard Lopate Show, a major New York radio talk show on WNYC. The three conservators will be discussing the efforts of AIC-CERT, Alliance for Response New York City, and MoMA after Superstorm Sandy, focusing on a new Cultural Recovery Center opening in Brooklyn.
Lisa Elkin, Chief Registrar and Director of Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History, is an AIC-CERT member, and has been very active in organizing aid to affected cultural institutions. Cindy Albertson, Assistant Conservator at the Museum of Modern Art, is serving in the important role as FAIC NYC Volunteer Coordinator. Jim Coddington is Chief Conservator at the Museum of Modern Art and a Professional Associate member of AIC.
Please tune into this program, and perhaps even call in to join the conversation, on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, from 1:20 – 2:00pm (ET). Stream the show live at www.wnyc.org, or New York-area locals can listen in at 93.9 FM.
I just heard the broadcast with Lisa Elkin, Jim Coddington, and Cindy Albertson on The Leonard Lopate Show and wish to get more information on the art conservation program in sunset Park Brooklyn stating next week.
The company I manage a company that manufactures artist supports/stretchers and panels and we work along side conservators, galleries, artists and museums. I will speak to Simon Liu and see if this is something he would like to get involved in.
Thank you.
Robert
