Pictures we took of each other at the Marina Ambramović retrospective
I've been waiting for this exhibition to happen for so long and it was a dream that it opened for my birthday. I don't have many photos because a lot of it is live performances, but I enjoyed it and I bought a membership so I can go back and spend more time with some of the longer two-week performances later this season.
Photos: some of the work Marina and Ulay made in their final pieces, including some prints made during walking the Great Wall of China towards each other for 90 days and some giant vases. And me lying on a piece intended for audience participation and performance; it felt very wrong and strange to touch a piece in the gallery, to lie down in the gallery, to perform and be a piece in the gallery

Meanwhile in the Conservation Lab at the Brooklyn Museum… 🌼🔬
The Brooklyn Museum paintings conservators welcomed scientists from the Met’s the Network Initiative for Conservation Science (NICS) to assist with a long-term treatment of a work in the Brooklyn Museum's collection by Mary Moser, a celebrated 18th century artist and one of the only two female founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
Over the course of two and a half days, we analyzed the pigments used by Moser in this painting using a portable X-ray fluorescence scanning system, which allows us to visualize the distribution of chemical elements on an artwork surface without the need to remove a sample. Here you can see the set-up for this scanning process as well as the distribution of arsenic in a yellow flower from the still life painting, which likely indicates the use of the arsenic-based pigment orpiment.
