Feedback groupThe feedback group is intended for everyone who has professional concern for the maintenance and preservation of contemporary art. Participants may introduce problems for discussion and thereby contribute to the improvement of collection maintenance and preservation, to the development of the SBMK’s program and to the execution or evaluation of projects. More information about the feedback group and the cases they have researched in the past you can find on the
platform page.
