Behind-the-scenes of Full Frame host Mike Walter with Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art conservator Grace Jan. The interview will be out next month! #features https://lnkd.in/e_QYUVq3 #WomensHistoryMonth
We're celebrating staff this #WomensHistoryMonth! Grace Jan specializes in integrating traditional mounting practices with new methods and approaches, and is one of our Chinese painting conservators who care for our Chinese painting and calligraphy collection. Here's a behind-the-scenes look as she speaks to CGTN America about remounting a handscroll painted on silk, considerations for the treatment such as handling paint layers and old repairs, plus her experiences working in the field. Look for the episode here soon! Want to learn how Ms. Jan and other painting conservators keep Chinese cultural heritage alive in the U.S.?
