Abstract
The artist interview has become an important resource for the conservation of contemporary art. The installation of an artwork in collaboration with the artist is an even more valuable research tool. However, as with the artist interview, it needs critical assessment, because first-hand information is gained but also co-constructed. Different ways of presenting the artwork can be explored in dialogue with the artist, as was experienced with Jan Dibbets’ conceptual and variable artwork 'All shadows that occurred to me in… are marked with tape' (1969) in the collection of the Kröller-Müller Museum.
