Carol Stringari in the Guggenheim Conservation Lab.Layered Look
Find out why energy policy is one of the hot topics of the Democratic convention in Denver so far. Also, we look at art conservation as a forensic science. Plus, the poems of W.S. Di Piero. And word maven Patricia T. O'Conner takes your calls on the English language.
Energy Policy is Hot
With oil prices reaching record highs recently, one of the hot topics of this year's Democratic convention in Denver has been energy policy. We look into the role energy policy is playing in this year's campaigns. Gene Karpinski, President of the League of Conservation Voters, joins us live from Denver.
Art Conservation as Forensic Science
We look at art conservation as a forensic science. Guggenheim Museum conservationist Carol Stringari recently used a severely damaged Ad Reinhardt painting, "Black Painting, 1960–66," that had been deemed all but destroyed to develop new conservation techniques! A Guggenheim exhibit, "Imageless," explores the scientific study and experimental treatment of Reinhardt’s damaged painting.
Event:
The Guggenheim is hosting a symposium for "Imageless"
Sept. 13, 10AM-5PM
Featuring forensic scientists, conservators, artists, art historians, curators, and other art and science professionals
