New Approaches in the Conservation of Contemporary Art (NACCA) is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network though which 15 early stage researchers taking on PhD projects are investigating a fascinating and varied set of as yet under-explored aspects of contemporary art conservation.
The topics addressed by the researchers range from looking at strategies for the conservation of computer-based artworks, to questions concerning the identity, values and authenticity of artworks and rethinking historical distinctions that have emerged amongst museum practitioners. On the afternoon of Monday 16th January 2017, Tate Modern will host a public event starting at 16:00, when the NACCA researchers will each briefly present on their research. The presentations will be followed by a networking opportunity during a poster session from 17:45 to 18:45. We do hope you can join us. As we have limited spaces we must ask those interested in attending to please register with John McNeill, Tate's Collection Care Research Manager ([email protected]) by the 4th January 2016.
