Sažetak
Artists hold vital information on how their works are made and how they are intended to look. This information is crucial for their future care, display and conservation. An artist interview is an effective and increasingly important tool in the collection of this information and can be considered one of the main strategies for the preservation of the artistic heritage of the twentieth and the twenty-first century. This paper focuses on the Artist in the Classroom project, which aims at collecting information from young and mid-generation Croatian artists through interviews conducted by art conservation students. The information collected is of interest to conservators, art historians and other researchers. The project is incorporated into one of the courses offered by the Arts Academy of the University of Split. The paper is divided into four sections. The first chapter discusses how conservation programs offered at Croatian universities respond to the need to introduce students to the conservation of modern and contemporary art. The second chapter provides a historical background to the idea of collecting artist-provided information that can be relevant to conservation. The lecture and practice session through which students of the Arts Academy in Split are introduced to the methodology of interviewing artists is described in the third chapter. The fourth chapter presents the results of two interviews with the Split-born conceptual artist Vedran Perkov.
