oh hi everyone my name is Danielle and

0:12

I’m a collections manager and curatorial

0:14

associate of art gallery Alberta

0:15

recently someone asked one of our

0:17

followers asked about our art storage

0:19

and I’m going to tell you a little bit

0:21

about that today so here at the aga we

0:23

have six vaults in our collection each

0:26

one stores a different type of artwork

0:27

and they’re each humidity and climate

0:30

controlled and temperature controlled

0:31

depending on the type of art that’s in

0:33

there

0:34

so in our painting vaults all the

0:37

paintings are stored on removable

0:39

storage racks so these prioritized space

0:41

and they make the works easily

0:43

accessible for any collections

0:44

maintenance we have two types of storage

0:48

racks one move in and out and the other

0:50

move back and forth and on one of these

0:53

ones we have stored our largest painting

0:56

collection it’s by kenneth noland and it

0:59

measures over two hundred and sixty

1:00

inches

1:02

all of our works on paper are stored in

1:05

these boxes which are called saw in

1:06

their cases and they’re stored unframed

1:09

to conserve space

1:13

so this is one of our sculpture vaults

1:16

here we store all the sculptures and

1:19

open stores you can see them right on

1:20

the shelves

1:23

this is called a hyperthermic graph and

1:25

it is a way we track the temperature and

1:28

the humidity in each vault as I

1:30

mentioned earlier each type of our

1:32

artwork has its own setting

1:35

so photography for example is usually in

1:37

a cooler vault and we have separate

1:40

vaults or organic materials and for

1:42

metals

1:43

and if you have any other questions

1:45

about how we store our art works or

1:47

about the collection in general please

1:49

email us or comment on one of our social

1:51
