The loan process begins with an official request for the piece in question from the institution that wishes to exhibit it for a particular project. Usually, these requests arrive several months or even a year in advance. A committee then assesses the recommendation of a technical team led by Fundaci\u00f3n Banco Santander Curator-Restorer, Marta Guibert.<\/p>\n
The request comes with all the necessary documents to conduct the assessment: why that piece? who is the exhibition curator? Where will the piece be on display? In what conditions will it be kept? How secure are the premises? According to Guibert, \u201cwe don\u2019t charge for loans, but must always uphold the integrity of the piece and make sure the request is sufficiently justified and documented\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Fundaci\u00f3n issues an official response and an agreement is drawn up in the form of terms and conditions. This document, which is similar to a contract, includes \u201cnail-to-nail\u201d insurance and other aspects. The institution receiving the piece has to cover it from deinstallation, packing, transport and exhibition, to its return to the Banco Santander Collection in the same condition as it left.<\/p>\n
Following approval of the loan, a notification is sent to Spain\u2019s Ministry of Culture, which must authorize the temporary export permit \u201cif the piece in question is categorized as a Bien de Inter\u00e9s Cultural (Asset of Cultural Value), is over 100 years old, or is registered under the Inventario General\u00a0de Bienes Inmuebles (General Inventory of Personal Property)\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The loan process begins with an official request for the piece in question from the institution that wishes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[121],"tags":[144,7339,442],"class_list":["post-40771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-banco-santander","tag-banco-santander","tag-responsible-banking","tag-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
