The Secret Life of Art: Care in Motion

What does it take for an artwork to remain alive on display?

The third instalment in our Secret Life of Art series turns attention to the unseen labour behind exhibitions—the ongoing negotiation between artist intention, material vulnerability, audience interaction, and time. From fragile materials to works that require continual adjustment, this members’ talk explores how art lives, shifts, and endures within the museum environment.

This series has provided rare insight into the practical work of collections management, opening conversations around conservation, installation processes, and the care of artworks within the museum.
