Collection policy
When planning to purchase new objects for your collection, consider whether you can choose ones that do not require complex conservation work. Interesting works or documents may already be held by other institutions. In such cases, perhaps there is no need to duplicate the purchase. It is worth contacting other institutions and asking about the conditions for borrowing items. Another approach you can try is to purchase instructions or scripts for the collection, which can be used to create works if they are needed for an exhibition.

> Dutch and British cultural institutions such as Tate Modern are analysing, within the framework of a network they have established, ways of documenting and preserving artistic practices which have originated from performance, dance or activism. Research teams are considering how to include such works in their collections.
