Less than one month to go before the ICON Paintings Group one-day conference at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, on Friday 12th October 2018.
Don’t miss it! Book your place through the Eventbrite link below! 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 now available at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wet-paintinteractions-between-water-and-paintings-tickets-44057892342 .
