Australian First in Pest Treatment - Woodford Academy

Woodford , NSW

MA NSW event November 2018.

Wednesday 7th November
4.30 - 6.30pm Woodford Academy
In an Australian first, the Academy’s buildings will be progressively sealed and left to heat over a week this coming summer, eradicating the infestation of insects that have taken up residence in the 180 year old buildings and its collections.

The last artistic event of the Woodford Academy’s 2018 cultural program, ‘Dust’ engages with the idea of collection care while at the same time examining the lives and activities of insects.
Come and hear and participate in an open discussion between Alex Roach, who will be undertaking the pest treatment, Rebecca Pinchin from the National Trust and Jacqueline Speeding Curator of the exhibition ‘Dust’.
