%X This paper discusses the role of memory ecologies in the conservation and activation of complex performance artworks. Taking Tony Conrad’s Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain 1972 as its case study, it examines how such works can live and thrive in the museum when we understand the people, structures and technology involved in transmitting them; trace the various forms of remembering them; and examine how the artwork and its associated memories are transformed across time. Through this analysis, the essay considers the part that museums have to play in fostering and contributing to ecologies of practice as they conserve and activate these artworks in the future.
