Abstract
As part of the research project Reshaping the Collectible: When Artworks Live in the Museum, practice-based research was undertaken in Tate’s conservation department around the acquisition and display of five works by Ima-Abasi Okon. This paper explores how Okon’s works shift the relationship between museum and artwork towards that of host and guest, reframing how we understand collaboration and care within the conservation team. Drawing on ideas of radical hospitality and slowness, it looks at how the museum should change in response to artworks.
