Dear colleagues, Recently somebody offered us a contemporary work of art that includes blood swaps. I am very hesitant in accepting this work as the swaps could come from a person with an infectious/contagious disease. How would you advise on accepting this artwork? If advised on accepting the work, how would one go about exhibiting this work to safeguard the public and the museum staff? Would someone be able to tell me how I could conserve this artwork from deterioration? Kind regards, Roeland Stulemeijer Conservator National University of Singapore Museums E-mail: [log in to unmask] Tel: (+ 65) 874 8817 Fax: (+ 65) 778 3738 50 Kent Ridge Crescent Singapore 119279 _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
