Abstract
This paper explores the current state of awareness and understanding of time-based art (TBA) in the Australasian cultural heritage sector using data gathered from a survey of 140 participants from across a range of professions, including conservation, registration, curatorial, library and archives management, installation and exhibition management, digital preservation and audience programming. The findings indicate the viewpoints of professionals who work in the cultural heritage sector on the development of TBA as a distinct specialisation within conservation, and advance discussions of cultural, institutional and structural barriers embedded in working cultures, practices and attitudes. This paper posits that the very nature of TBA requires a reassessment of traditional institutional roles and workflows, new types of technical knowledge and the development of a supportive network of practice.
