The artistic discipline of art conservation and restoration did not begin with its origins in the art museums. It was once only the responsibility of an artist to restore and conserve their own artworks. Before the beginning of the nineteenth century ... , the technical process of how a painting aged was not considered by artists or contemporary art historians. But, as the discipline of art conservation has matured, the way conservators and restorers preserve oil paintings now includes elements of science and technology. This paper analyses and describes the methods and practices of current art conservation and restoration in fine art museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, its history and current practices in the professional field. The most relevant discourse in the museum world is the intent of the artist, what works are being altered, how exactly the paintings are altered, and the techniques used to ensure that any conservation or restoration work done to the paintings is reversible in order not to jeopardize the paintings integrity as an original work.

This paper discusses how The Herron School of Art created an exhibition titled, “Past is Present: Black Artists Respond to the Complicated Histories of Slavery”, curated by Jonathan Square. This is an exhibition that brings attention to slavery and i ... ts effects into modern society. The installations focus on ideas pertaining to hegemony, white supremacy, social inequalities, politics, in conjunction with showing viewers that art galleries have historically been “white spaces”. This paper examines this exhibition to help understand its social effects, as well as what social ideas affected the exhibition itself. The paper further analyzes the pieces sharing cultural experiences with an audience and looks at how different perceptions and life experiences affect what the art means and how this affects viewers. This exhibition encourages viewers to question themselves to understand how much slavery has affected African Americans' experiences in life and society. This moves viewers to understand how slavery has affected everyone's lives and shaped the ideals and standards of this society. I show in my paper how whether one wants to admit that or not is up to the viewer, however this exhibition makes these issues relevant, showing how dangerous slavery and its implications are and why a show like this was created.
