Alice Newton of Harper's Ferry will discuss the challenges of moving 5.5 million objects (from Moran paintings to human remains) seven miles in three and a half months; Mark Wamaling from Artex will explore, among other things, what he learned from packing and handling two giraffes; and Michelle Barger from SFMOMA will address safe approaches-for the art work, the art handler, and the public-in handling, installing and displaying art work that contains toxic materials.
