Distribution of Artworks While there is a high demand throughout the University for artworks and it is difficult to accommodate all requests, we do endeavour to provide artworks in approved areas when possible. Artworks are on temporary loan to your area. It is the policy of the Collection to enable as many people as possible to share the experience of having ANU artworks in their work areas. To register your request for artwork contact the Collections Officer (details below). Image: Imants Tillers, Nature speaks: AQ 2002 synthetic polymer paint and gouache on 16 canvas boards. The Australian National University Collection. Guidelines for Care & Treatment of Artworks The Art Collection has been developed over many years through donations and acquisitions. It includes many extremely important works by major Australian artists, and is regarded as a significant national collection. These guidelines are designed to protect works of art in the ANU Art Collection. Staff members in areas that house artworks belonging to the ANU Art Collection are considered to share responsibility for the care and security of those artworks. Only Collections staff are authorized to handle or relocate artworks. There are specific responsibilities that accompany the placement of artworks throughout the ANU. To ensure that the Art Collection is properly maintained and conserved it is important that all staff are aware of the following guidelines: Artworks will only be installed in locations approved by the Collections Officer. These areas must comply with preventative conservation guidelines. Please do not move artworks. The Collections Officer must be notified if you want artworks in your work area rehung or relocated. The Collections Officer must be notified immediately if any damage occurs to an artwork. With prior notification, the Collections Officer may relocate artworks from areas at any time. In exceptional cases, the work may be removed without notice. The Collections Officer must be notified if any renovations, painting or repairs are to be undertaken in an area housing an artwork. In this case, artworks will be relocated to the Art Collection storeroom for safety until all work is completed. The Collections Officer must be notified in case of theft, fire, flood or any other unforeseen risk that may cause damage to artworks. Please avoid placing objects against artworks or within a dangerous proximity of them. Three-dimensional objects, including glass, ceramic and wood pieces, are not to be used as functional objects; eg.: vases, paperweights, containers. Please notify the Collections Officer when you permanently vacate your office so that new staff can be advised of their responsibilities regarding artworks located in their area. The Collections Officer is not responsible for the hanging or installation of artworks and objects that do not form part of the Central Collection. This includes posters, clocks, notice boards, reproduction prints, etc. Enquiries & Issues Members of staff should contact the Collections Officer (details below) for any issues to do with: Selecting Collection artworks for their work spaces Moving artworks from one location to another Returning artworks to storage Storing of artworks temporarily during office renovations for their safe keeping Any other ANU Art Collection related issue.
