'''Anna Schäffler''' is an art historian and curator. She studied art history as well as modern and contemporary history in Berlin and Madrid. She researches contemporary art preservation at the interface between art history, conservation and curating. Based on her practical experience with Anna Oppermann's estate, in her dissertation she examined the posthumous preservation of process-based installation works and the consequences for the concept of work and authorship. In her curatorial projects she develops f.e. exhibition formats to convey the practices and processes of art production.
