SUMMARY:CICS-Ringvorlesung (Online): Inherent Vice\, or: How I learned to s
 top worrying and love shattered silk
DESCRIPTION:Fashion and textile collections are deeply affected by inherent
  vice\, consisting of fragile objects never meant to last indefinitely. Li
 kewise\, museum storage often suffers from inherent faults rooted in biase
 d ideologies. With these overlapping complexities in mind\, conservation a
 nd curatorial staff from the Rhode Island School of Design Museum organize
 d an interdisciplinary\, year-long project entitled Inherent Vice\, encomp
 assing gallery exhibitions\, coursework\, and artistic collaborations desi
 gned to engage students and the public with the nuances of textile deterio
 ration. The resulting project is a case study of how conservators leverage
 d preservation work\, often isolated behind closed doors\, to encourage co
 llaborative engagement. The success of this project relied on multiple fac
 tors: willingness to collaborate without a predefined end goal\, a focus o
 n non-linear and abstract outcomes\, and comfort with a fluid concept of w
 hat a conservator’s role is and should be. Our collaborative work highli
 ghted how teaching about conservation in non-traditional arenas can build 
 relationships and enrich creative practice beyond the walls of a museum. I
 t allowed us to explore how innovative approaches to deterioration – and
  accepting that things fall apart in the first place – can be a generati
 ve\, ethical part of textile conservation practice.
