Tiernan's Thesis

If you would like to know what's going on in my work, what's up with all the hair, and what I would look like if my head was cut off and then ritually shrunken by the Shuar people of Ecuador, read my thesis! Tiernan_Alexander_Thesis_Final.pdf. Feel free to comment.

www.incca.org is a great resource to know about - that I stumbled on 1-2 years ago researching how to document video installations. Even if they are in the Netherlands, they pretty much do everything in English.

They are doing a call for posters addressing 'best practices' conservation and installation of contemporary art for their annual conference Contemporary Art: Who Cares? More info and links below if you are design inclined.

What is INCCA?

INCCA is a network of professionals connected to the conservation of modern and contemporary art. Conservators, curators, scientists, registrars, archivists, art historians and researchers are among its members. Members allow access to each others unpublished information (artist interviews, condition reports, installation instructions etc) through the INCCA Database for Artists' Archives.


I would like to draw your attention to the Call for Posters from the International symposium Contemporary Art: Who Cares? For details and to download a poster application form please go to: http://www.incca.org/cawc-callforposters
