»THE RESTORATION PROJECT« is an ongoing work which started in June 2006. It examines the process of restoration as an endeavor spanning two moments in time: the production of the artwork (A) and its reception (C). By focusing on the time in between (B), the restoration itself highlights the temporality of an artwork, subtly altering its effects and changing its conditions of visibility. The first time this project was exhibited a restorer was resident in the gallery over a five-week period, working on a number of paintings carefully chosen on subjects that run through Marine Hugonniers practice. The exhibition featured a working laboratory including an easel, chair, cabinet. Viewers were invited back to the gallery to witness the project’s fruition.
