Abstract

Based on the review of writings by theorists and conservators, we propose a reformulation of the concepts of authorship, authenticity and originality, promoting the expansion of meanings and applicable scopes in contemporary art installations, even in those made with organic objects or easily replaceable materials. In such situations, how should we act as conservators in cases where the important thing is the transmission of meaning, not the materiality of the object?
