Jill Sterrett

Art and Obsolescence

In Episode 68, we sit down with Jill Sterrett, Director of Collections at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Before her tenure in Wisconsin, and even before her time as director at the Smart Museum of Art, Jill dedicated over 28 years to SFMOMA. There, she led the conservation department during its formative years, establishing SFMOMA as a pioneer in the field of time-based media conservation. Throughout Jill’s extensive career, from her early years at SFMOMA to her current work in Wisconsin, she's consistently challenged predefined norms. She combines a deep respect for traditional conservation methods with a drive for big-picture innovation. Tune in to hear Jill’s story!
