Hello Lightning Tamers!
This is episode number 56 and in today’s podcast, recorded August 13th, 2023, I’ll be joined by Suzanne Hargrove former Head of Conservation at the Toledo Museum of Art in a Conversation on Conservation.
We met in February 2022 at during my GAPP (Glass Artist Pavilion Project) Residency, and she had graciously set up the Paul Seide Radio Light from the Museum’s collection. I have a wide interest in glass and gas-illuminated artwork, so I wanted to discuss Paule Seide’s Radio Lights in this podcast as well. But I believe it’s equally as important to address a variety of questions to give us an overview of art conservation and its relation to the artwork and the artist.
Welcome to the Podcast, Suzanne Hargrove!
