Conflict, Confluence and Conservation
Photography and Digital Imaging in Contemporary Art.
A talk by Franziska Frey (Harvard Library) and Nora Kennedy (The Metropolitan Museum of Art).

Franziska Frey and Nora Kennedy will explore the challenges of digital imaging and traditional photography in today’s contemporary art scene. What should artists and collectors be aware of? How can one ensure these works will be passed along to future generations? What are some of the issues of contemporary images in museum collections?

This talk is made possible through the Middle East Photograph Preservation Initiative (MEPPI).
From 10-18 November, sixteen representatives from important photograph collections in the Middle East are attending MEPPI Beirut 2011, a unique photograph preservation workshop organised jointly by the Arab Image Foundation, the University of Delaware, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Getty Conservation Institute.
