Fellowship at Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Kress Conservation Fellowship, Paper Conservation
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, with funds from the Kress
Foundation, is seeking a paper conservator to undertake a project
entitled "Uncovered and Unconventional."  The study will focus on
the installation issues of large format and three-dimensional
artworks made primarily of paper-based materials, those displayed
without a frame or vitrine.  The study follows a 2002-2003 Kress
Conservation Fellowship devoted to the preservation issues of large
format works on paper. During the one-year fellowship tenure, the
conservator will focus on solutions to exhibition problems and will
conduct treatments for an exhibition that will feature
unconventional three-dimensional works by contemporary artists.  A
presentation or publishable paper based on the project is expected.

The successful candidate will gain experience working with a wide
variety of paper based objects in a busy program serving two
museums, the Legion of Honor and the new deYoung Museum.  Graduates
from recognized training programs are encouraged to apply.  Stipend:
$25,000/year plus $3,000 for travel related to the project.

Send resume, list of references, and letter describing experience
and career objectives to
