INSTALLATION CONSERVATION ENGINEERING
onefivesix's extensive experience in installing and repairing the work of dozens of established electrical artists, gives us the know how to run an electric art hospital. Whether it is minor maintenance work or full reconstruction of obsolete parts, onefivesix will assess the problem and provide recommendations prior to any repairs. All of our conservation projects are compared back to archival sources that reference the original work and make use of period components whenever appropriate. At onefivesix, we document all restoration work for inclusion in the work's chain of provenance.
