What does an art technician do? Art technicians use huge technical skill to make sure works of art are safely packed, moved, unpacked, installed and deinstalled without damage.

A lot of the work takes place behind the scenes – planning a method of install, measuring up, and ensuring the correct equipment is used. Find out exactly what’s involved in this informal talk and demonstration with freelance technician Andrew Quinn.

Wednesday 15 April, 2pm-3pm.

Booking essential.
