Rosie Cardiff, E-Learning Curator at the Tate writes:
"Tate has launched a new online resource exploring Bruce Nauman’s installation 'MAPPING THE STUDIO II with color shift, flip, flop, & flip/flop (Fat Chance John Cage).'
As part of the EU funded project Inside Installations: the preservation and presentation of installation art, Time-based Media Conservation and Digital Programmes have collaborated to create an e-learning package designed to provide a rare opportunity for the public to go behind the scenes and explore the challenges of collecting, installing and caring for complex installations.
The site includes interviews with Bruce Nauman and his assistant, Michael Short and explores the roles of the curator and the conservator and a range of themes including preservation and co-ownership. While the site presents information of interest to a general audience, it also provides technical material not commonly available to the public. This e-learning package aims to provide a rich source of information to enhance an understanding of this work, provide a tool for adult learners, and a resource for colleagues in other institutions interested in the care and management of installation art.
This is the first time the Conservation Department at Tate has been involved in creating an e-learning resource and as such, the project presented many new challenges around how to present quite technical information."
