museum of modern art conservation staff meeting:
sculpture conservator #1: what's the status of the moth larvae on the wool jephson robb piece?
sculpture conservator #2: we've been vacuuming the piece every week to reduce the presence of larvae, but moth infestation is a constant problem with textile pieces in this museum.
sculpture conservator #1: the cafe is next to one of the galleries, so when people leave they brush crumbs off of their coats and scatter them around the museum. the moths are attracted to food particles and then they begin to eat through the textile pieces. we need to reduce the presence of food particles in the galleries.
paintings conservator: i just saw a pepsi machine being installed in the second floor gallery.
sculpture conservator #1: actually, that's a work of art....
sometimes i don't get modern art.
