CELEBRATING REPRODUCTIONS in plaster, metal and digitally: CONFERENCE 2019-Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK, January 17th-18th-19th
The Victoria and Albert Museum will be celebrating the re-opening of the second Cast Court and a new interpretation Gallery after extensive renovations by hosting a three day conference on Thursday 17, Friday 18 and Saturday 19 January 2019. The first two days will include subjects on the functions and fates of historic collections, the uses and nature of reproductions now and in the past - including photography and digital media, as well as plaster casts and electrotypes. The third day will draw from the direct working experience of practitioners using conservation, analytical techniques or craft skills to further an understanding of the material, behaviour and deterioration processes of plaster casts and electrotypes. There will be a conservation focus around the 'deterioration processes' impacting on plaster to include soiling, fire damage, water damage, salt activity, corrosion of armatures and fixings, thermal cracking and environmental impacts. https://www.vam.ac.uk/research/projects/reach-reproduction-of-art-and-cultural-heritage#outputs We invite submissions of proposals for presentations, posters and films Please submit a title and short summary of your proposal for sessions to be held on the first two days to Holly Trusted ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) and/or Angus Patterson ([email protected]).
