Incubator Gallery Exhibition Opening: On the Same Wavelength: Art, Science & Conservation

Join five Duke students for a gallery talk on their co-curated exhibition, On the Same Wavelength: Art, Science & Conservation, in the Incubator Gallery. Technical art history, the focus of this exhibition, brings together art historians, conservators, and scientists in the scientific study of works of art. On the Same Wavelength presents the discoveries we have made about Nasher objects’ materials, original uses, the techniques used to create them, and their evolutions over time due to aging and conservation.

This exhibition was created through the Curatorial Practicum: Exhibition Development and Design course in the Museum Theory & Practice Concentration, taught by Julia McHugh, Trent A. Carmichael Director of Academic Initiatives and Curator of Arts of the Americas and Katherine Werwie, Associate Curator at the Nasher Museum with scientific consultation from Heidi Kastenholz, James Bonk Fellow and Doctoral Candidate in Chemistry. The exhibition’s student co-curators are Anna Grace Grossnickle, Abigail Hartemink, Hailey Kasney, and Beatrice Kleeger.
