The Icon Gilding & Decorative Surfaces Group invite submissions for papers on the subject of DEVOTIONAL OBJECTS; their veneration, production, conservation and/or restoration. Topics could include recent or on-going conservation/restoration projects, research into materials and techniques and ethical decision making involved in the preservation of artefacts and collections intended for worship. The group would like to encourage submissions from students as well as professionals working across the heritage sector.
Each presentation should be around 20 minutes. Please submit abstracts of 300-500 words by 22 July. The symposium will be held in central London on Thursday 24 October. As far as is possible we will endeavour to subsidise speakers travelling from outside London. Please submit abstracts and queries to icong...@outlook.com. ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to consdistlist-le...@cool.conservation-us.org Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
