The event looks behind the scenes and walls of a museum and offers insights into the aspects and challenges of working with a contemporary collection. The over 20-metre wide mural created by the US artist Richard Jackson (b. 1939) in 1998/2006 was uncovered again for the first time for the current exhibition Local Histories. In front of the artwork, curator Matilda Felix and conservator Eva Rieß talk about its condition after having been covered for those 12 years and discuss special conservation issues that can arise when dealing with contemporary art.
