Hi Kevin, Thank you for sending out the announcement about Lucy Commoner’s talk. I have taken the liberty of sharing your announcement with several of my Smithsonian colleagues. Is it ok for us to forward it on to others? Is there a limit on the number of us who would pick it up by live stream? Mary

As conservators interface with other professionals, the area in which there is perhaps the greatest need for collaboration is in the planning and execution of exhibitions.

Since at least the 1980s, many museums have invited artists or other cultural figures to forage through their storerooms and assemble an exhibition using personal criteria to determine both the content and how it will be displayed. This museological approach places the emphasis on reinterpreting and revitalizing permanent collections through independent thinking from an external vantage point. It also brings into view rarely seen collection pieces, exposing the richness of collections otherwise lingering in storage.

Join Lucy Commoner as she explores through a series of exhibitions at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, the creative and sometimes controversial outcomes of collaborations and compromises between conservators and guest curators from outside the museum field.

Lucy Commoner is Conservator Emeritus at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, where she served since 1977 as Senior Textile Conservator, and as Head of Conservation from 2004 until her retirement in 2016. Previously, she was an Assistant Restorer for the Textile Conservation and Egyptian Departments at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in art history and studio art from Brown University. Her areas of expertise include early Dynastic Egyptian textiles, folding fans, museum storage systems, fiber identification and microscopy, exhibition and mounting techniques for textiles, and the construction and maintenance of a conservation environment. She has lectured and published widely and has been an adjunct professor at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Center since 1987. She was the recipient of the Textile Specialty Group Award for contributions to the field of Textile Conservation from the American Institute for Conservation in 2016.
