The findings indicate the viewpoints of professionals who work in the cultural heritage sector on the development of TBA as a distinct specialisation within conservation, and advance discussions of cultural, institutional, and structural barriers embedded in working cultures, practices, and attitudes. This paper posits that the very nature of TBA requires a reassessment of traditional institutional roles and workflows, new types of technical knowledge, and the development of a supportive network of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asti Sherring<br>Senior time-based art conservator<br>University of Canberra<br>Bruce, ACT, Australia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asti SherringElectronic Media Review, Volume Seven: 2021-2022Abstract PDF ABSTRACT This paper explores the current state of awareness and understanding of time-based art (TBA) in the Australasian cultural heritage sector using data gathered from a survey of 140 participants from across a range of professions, including conservation, registration, curatorial, library and archives management, installation and exhibition &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/volume-7-2021-2022\/divergent-conservation-cultural-sector-opportunities-and-challenges-relating-to-the-development-of-time-based-art-conservation-in-australasia\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Divergent Conservation: Cultural Sector Opportunities and Challenges Relating to the Development of Time-Based Art Conservation in Australasia&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341,"featured_media":0,"parent":1811,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1903","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1903"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1903\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2294,"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1903\/revisions\/2294"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/emg-review\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
