UPCOMING PROGRAM Modular Cleaning Program and Gel Solvent Workshop June 12-16, 2017 Pratt Institute, Department of Math and Science, Brooklyn, NY Instructor: Chris Stavroudis, conservator in private practice, West Hollywood, CA The Modular Cleaning Program (MCP) is a systematic approach for the cleaning of artworks utilizing a Filemaker Pro database system. This system has been developed to assist conservators in their approach to cleaning art utilizing water-borne systems, solvents, solvent gels and emulsions. In addition, this aids the conservator in formulating and combining stock solutions, which allows the conservator to create optimized cleaning solutions for more precise and tailored treatments. While developed from the perspective of paintings conservation, the methodology is universal and applicable to any cleaning environment. This five-day workshop will provide conservators with a series of concentrated aqueous stock solutions and the materials to mix a range of emulsions and microemulsions. The provided database, “The Modular Cleaning Program,” assists the conservator in formulating and combining stock solutions which allows the conservator to create optimized cleaning solutions for more precise and tailored treatments. The workshop consists of approximately 2 days of lecture interspersed into the hands-on workshop.
