Time-based media

Short description: Art genre

Time-based media is a term coined by museum conservators for durational works of art that unfold over a period of time.[1] This work often relies on technology, but includes mediums such as performance art and social practice.[2][3] In the late 1990s, various institutions and organizations started forming think-tanks and working groups to develop standard practices for the acquisition, analysis, and care for these works over time.

## Time-based media conservation

Main article: Social:Conservation and restoration of time-based media art

Time-based media art presents unique challenges for the field of conservation. While early media conservators often came from traditional sculpture conservation backgrounds, contemporary media conservators benefit from having diverse backgrounds and experiences. The American Institute for Conservation formed the Electronic Media Group in 1998.[4] The variable media initiative was active at the Guggenheim from 1999 to 2004.[5][6] Matters in Media Art – a collaboration between the New Art Trust, MoMA, SFMoMA, and the Tate – launched in 2005 to help institutions, collectors, and conservators keep works of media art alive.[7] NYU launched the Time-based Media Art Conservation Education Program in the fall of 2018 under the guidance of Christine Frohnert and Hannelore Roemich. [8][9] In recent decades, various major institutions such as the Whitney, the Museum of Modern Art, The Met, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and The Smithsonian have appointed trained time-based media conservators to care for their growing collections of variable media.[10][11][12][13]

## Collectors

Outside of institutions, major collectors of time-based media art include Robert Rosenkranz, Ingvild Goetz, Julia Stoschek, and Pamela and Richard Kramlich.[14][15][16][17]
