The Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) coordinates a research project (ArtGarden) that focuses on composite objects and their specific problems caused by material interactions. (e.g. Enclosed Gardens, ethnographic masks, puppets, reliquary...) For the creation of an online tool to provide advice about care of historical mixed media objects, we are examining more examples of composite objects, and more specifically those which present conservation problems that need a closer investigation. Hence, we are interested to hear which material interactions you frequently encounter in your personal work field, that typically cause damage. Which material-combination(s) is (are) frequently problematic in objects, according to you? We would love to include your 'problematic material interactions' in our research and our decision support tool!
