Contemporary art is an intrinsic part of our cultural heritage. Installations, performances, video and other forms of media art, have the interest of a small group of adherents, but are in comparison with more traditional art forms, far more difficult to present to a general audience. Another problem is that, due to the type of materials used and the context-specific aspects of these art forms, the conservation of the works is difficult and require of the conservator an intimate knowledge of the original intentions of the artist as well as details of the materials used and the procedure of construction.
