Perales Garcia will focus on the exhibition Gala Porras-Kim: The weight of a patina of time in the context of broad questions raised by Porras-Kim’s research-based practice.
- How do objects continue to perform their original functions once they enter a museum collection?
- What are the ethics and practical concerns of museum operations like acquisition, conservation, and display of cultural artifacts?
- Is preservation synonymous with conservation? In what ways does ownership differ from stewardship?
Parking available in UCLA Lot 4, 198 Westwood Plaza, directly off Sunset Blvd; $3/hr or max $15/day. Rideshare drop-off at 305 Royce Dr.
