Lighting and Conservation of Art by Luis Barahona

How do you light and display art in the best way possible, all while conserving it for years to come? Join Mr. Luis Barahona, Technical Manager and Head of Lighting Design for ERCO Lighting Asia-Pacific, as he shares the importance of understanding the principle of good exhibition lighting to enhance artworks, all while explaining the different methods of lighting artworks used by museums and galleries worldwide.

This sharing session will also explain how sunlight and artificial light affect the conservation process on artworks, and how to minimise the degradation on art pieces through light exposure. Along with these practical considerations, this presentation will also consider the various factors that influence and change the viewer’s perspective when viewing and appreciating art, such as variations in colour temperature, and the CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of the light fixtures.
