  America (INCCA-NA)

  More info

  Venue: AIC Annual Conference, Denver, CO

  Speakers: Richard Cándida Smith, Professor of History and Director, Regional Oral History Office, University of California, Berkeley Jill Sterrett, Director of Collections and Conservation, SFMOMA Joyce Hill Stoner, Professor of Art Conservation, Univ. of Delaware; Coordinator, FAIC Oral History Project Glenn Wharton, Time-Based Media Conservator, MoMA; Research Scholar, NYU

  Interviews with artists, fabricators, and historians contribute significantly to the care of cultural heritage and art conservators find themselves increasingly in the role of interviewer. Training conservators in interview methodology will ensure that we have effective ways of conducting, archiving, and disseminating interviews and it is hoped that these interviews will serve the understanding and knowledge of our successors. In this workshop, members of the conservation community who have done ground-breaking work in this area will share their unique viewpoints and examine a variety of processes for gathering essential information. The speakers will present model projects in the field, such as INCCA’s Artist Archives Database and the FAIC Oral History program. Historian Richard Candida-Smith, who directs a major university oral history program with a significant arts-interviewing program, will explore issues surrounding this complex topic and teach basic but effective interview techniques. This one-day course will include the presentation and critique of case studies and will involve attendees in active participation through small group exercises.

  The Object in Transition: A Cross Disciplinary Conference on the Preservation and Study of Modern and Contemporary Art
  January 25-26, 2008
  Getty Center, Los Angeles

  More info

  Presented by the Getty Conservation Institute and the Getty Research Institute, "The Object in Transition: A Cross Disciplinary Conference on the Preservation and Study of Modern and Contemporary Art", will explore some of the key issues surrounding the conservation of contemporary sculpture, painting, and mixed-media artworks, and the collaborative possibilities, primarily between conservators, art historians, and curators, working in these fields.

  The two-day event will feature intensive professional dialogues on case studies and general panel discussions. Topics will include the importance of an artwork's surface, dealing with process, the artist's voice and intent, the life and death of objects, and examining multi-disciplinary collaboration. A number of relevant art works are anticipated to be on display, enabling the audience to actively participate in the discussion of these works.

  In addition, a panel discussion, open to the public, with three influential contemporary artists (to be announced) in conversation with Christian Scheidemann (Private Conservator in NY) and Elisabeth Sussman (curator at the Whitney Museum of Art) will be held on Thursday evening, January 24, 2008 in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium at the Getty Center.

  For more information, including a preliminary list of speakers, please see: http://www.getty.edu/conservation/science/modpaints/modern_materials_conf.html Conference information will be regularly updated.

ICOM-CC Conference Session 2007

Managing a Finite Resource
Balancing conservation and Use of Collections
ICOM-CC is the largest of the International Committees of ICOM with over 1500 members worldwide from every branch of the museum and conservation profession. ICOM-CC aims to promote the conservation, investigation and analysis of culturally and historically significant works and to further the goals of the conservation profession. ICOM-CC is built up of specialist 22 Working Groups, which actively communicate with their members through newsletters, meetings and at the ICOM-CC Triennial Meeting. The Triennial Meeting brings the membership of ICOM-CC together to report and to review current research. Over 1000 papers have been published in the Meeting Pre-prints in the past twenty years.

During the ICOM General Conference in Vienna ICOM-CC would like to invite interested ICOM members to a special session addressing the following topics:

• Is it short-term political agendas or the long-term specialist's view that governs what we preserve and how?
• How do we value and understand the process of preservation compared to the 'value' of the object?
• What parameters do we utilise when balancing the costs and benefits of conservation both today and in the long term?
• How do we assess and manage the huge pressures put on objects and conservators to meet the growing demands of visitors, travelling exhibitions and the long term preservation collections?
• Collections should be used - not consumed?
• Do the levels of funding for collections care reflect the economic value of those collections to society?
