Dear colleagues, Find in the blog the last post about the conservation treatment of several oversized paintings on Kraft paper. The conservation treatment used wooden boards instead of the karibari panel in order to follow the japanese techniques. The sketches belong to the Hispanic Society of America since this institution ordered them to the spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla.

There are many ways in which water and humidity can physically alter paintings, sometimes with disastrous effect; such as staining canvases, flaking and blanching paint, warping of wooden panels and cockling canvas supports. However, water is also a useful material for conservators that can be employed in the treatment of painted surfaces, such as: in the form of aqueous cleaning solutions, for moisture treatments to reduce deformations, and as a carrier for adhesives. This conference will look at the ways in which water and paintings can interact, and their implications for the conservator. We welcome papers that address new research or report case studies of treatments. Papers could address topics such as: - water damage and its treatment - relative humidity and its effect on paintings - water sensitivity of paint - aqueous cleaning systems - water soluble restoration materials The conference program for Oral Presentations is available at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wet-paintinteractions- between-water-and-paintings-tickets-44057892342. The call for POSTER PRESENTATIONS is now open.

This two-part workshop is designed for collectors and a wide range of collections care staff from various departments within art museums, libraries, archives, historic houses, and universities. This workshop supports VMFA?s endeavor to serve audiences on a local, statewide, national and international basis through the preservation and study of art, and educational programs. Part One: Preservation of Photographic Materials (Thursday, August 9, 2018 from 9:00 - 5:00) This one-day workshop will be in lecture format and will cover a variety of topics related to the stability and preservation of photographic materials. Subjects to be covered include a brief history of the various photographic processes and how they deteriorate; how to choose the proper storage materials for your photographs; how to safely handle and label photographs; the roll of temperature and environment on photographs; and lighting and exhibition parameters. The content of this workshop is relevant for museum curators, registrars, conservators, archivists, collection managers, collectors of photographs and photography enthusiasts. Part Two: Photographic Treatment for Paper Conservators (Friday, August 10, 2018 from 9:00 - 5:00) This one-day workshop will be a continuation of the lecture listed above. It will include both lectures and hands-on activities to cover basic treatment skills and to teach the non-photograph conservator how to stabilize and preserve photographs in their collection in the absence of a photograph conservator. Topics to be covered include surface cleaning, consolidation, mending, humidifying and flattening, hinge application and removal, inpainting and identifying appropriate housing materials that have passed the Photographic Activities Test. Each participant will examine and treat a set of photographs in the paper conservation lab at the VMFA. Participants are encouraged to bring their own hand tools (a suggested list will be provided). Due to space limitations, this workshop will be limited to eight participants and is tailored to professional conservators. The first day lecture (Part One) is a prerequisite for this workshop. Resource materials will be provided for each attendee. There is a registration fee of $50 per attendee per session. Please direct any questions or application form requests to Heather Emerson at [email protected]. Please complete and return the application by June 24, 2018, for consideration.

The workshop will be instructed by Jennifer McGlinchey with assistance from Tessa Bronwyn Hamilton, and organized by Beth Doyle. UV/visible fluorescence is a powerful, non-destructive imaging technique that can be used as a diagnostic tool and to inform conservation treatment. The workshop will provide an opportunity for conservators and conservation photographers of all specialties to learn more about the tools and techniques needed to create high quality UVA induced visible fluorescence (UV/visible) images that can be meaningfully analyzed, compared and viewed. With wider understanding and consistent execution by conservators, this technique can become increasing useful for sharing data across the field and documenting cultural heritage. The workshop will emphasize the overall goals and general techniques for capturing UV/visible images that can be applied to a wide variety of equipment and media. Scientific data will be used to illustrate the positive and negative aspects of materials, giving participants the knowledge to evaluate new tools and equipment. When possible, low-cost and practical options will be presented. Equipment will be provided by the instructor and host institution. Participants are not expected to bring their own imaging equipment. Participants may bring small artifacts for imaging if desired. This workshop is appropriate for conservators and conservation photographers of all experience levels and specialties.

The Fellow will work collaboratively with Hirshhorn paper and objects conservators on the research and treatment of Robert Rauschenberg?s *Fossil for Bob Morris, * 1965. The object is a quintessential example of Rauschenberg?s integrated approach of blending traditional materials with everyday objects. It is comprised of paper, metal, plastic, rubber, and fabric on canvas. In addition to displaying general aging and deterioration of its components, the object has been displayed in various configurations throughout its history. The project will explore not only traditional treatment and preventive conservation methodologies, but will address questions related to the replacement of deteriorated elements with contemporary materials. It will include extensive research into materials and construction and an exploration of past exhibition documentation to inform treatment and future display. This fellowship will allow the successful applicant the opportunity to expand their knowledge of paper and contemporary art conservation in a collaborative setting. The fellow will work closely with the paper, sculpture, and variable media conservators at HMSG. The fellow will be an integral member of the conservation team, gaining experience in exhibition installation and object preparation, and participating in day-to-day activities in a contemporary art conservation lab. The fellowship stipend is $35,000. Eligibility The successful candidate will be a recent graduate of a recognized training conservation program in the U.S., Canada, or abroad. The candidate should have a specialization in paper conservation, with an interest in working with contemporary art/composite materials. Please submit in a single PDF document the following application materials: a statement of interest, your CV with contact information for three professional or academic references, and two recent treatment reports or published papers. The application materials should demonstrate the candidate's range and ability to conduct object-based research and the ability to approach and develop a treatment plan.
