The goal of this edition is to offer a greater, in-depth analysis of the complex field of contemporary art conservation, focusing on the treatment phases and reaching a higher level of specificity for the dissemination of international contributions. C&C 2018 will center on structural treatments and issues in the consolidation of modern and contemporary paintings, in particular how these steps are strictly connected with the artwork image and how they influence its general aesthetics. This year’s subject matter addresses the lack of dissemination and systematization of studies on consolidation and conservation of contemporary painting supports, especially in Italy. The C&C International Congress will offer the opportunity to share scientific and analytical contributions, with great emphasis on case studies and data that could support conservators during their practice and conservation challenges. The general objectives of this two-day congress are: · The dissemination of systematic and analytical studies on products’ stability for consolidation and structural treatments · The dissemination of innovative methodologies for the above-mentioned phases · Sharing experiences and relevant case studies SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE: Ilaria Saccani (CESMAR7), Roberto Bestetti (CESMAR7), Davide Riggiardi (CESMAR7), Maria Fratelli (CESMAR7), Alessandra Tibiletti (CESMAR7), Barbara Caranza (CESMAR7), Grazia Cavanna (CESMAR7), Elisabetta Zendri (DAIS, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), Francesca Caterina Izzo (DAIS, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), Dominique Scalarone (Dept.
