Brian Castriota is a Glasgow-based researcher, educator, and conservator who specialised in time-based media, contemporary art, and archaeological materials. He is a Time-Based Media Conservator at the National Galleries Scotland and a freelance conservator for time-based media and contemporary art at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. He also serves as Supervising Conservator with Harvard Art Museums' Archaeological Exploration of Sardis and has worked with the expedition since 2011. He is an adjunct lecturer in time-based media art conservation at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts and is a Tutor in Museum Studies (MSc) at the University of Glasgow. He completed graduate-level training in conservation at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts (2014) and received a PhD in History of Art from the University of Glasgow (2019). As a doctoral researcher within the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłowdoska-Curie ITN New Approaches in the Conservation of Contemporary Art (NACCA), his thesis research examined notions of artwork identity and authenticity commonly invoked in conservation theory and practice. Prior to his doctoral studies, he was a Samuel H. Kress Fellow in Time-Based Media Conservation at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and worked as a contract conservator for time-based media artworks at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. (2022)
