[Consdistlist] Pastels on loan - 45 degrees

2018-06-04 Thread Claire Grundy
Do organisations always insist on lending pastels within crates at a 45
degree angle? I was always trained to insist on a crate spec on an angle -
but there is very little recent research in this area.
Does anyone have pastels in transit recent research or working practices
you'd like to share?

[Consdistlist] Wood workshop - Training search UK

2018-06-04 Thread Claire Grundy
I manage conservation staff who work within a woodworking shop. There are
13 fixed machines, which include bandsaw, bobbing sander, dimension saw,
disk sander and circular saw.
As part of a full H review, I am ensuring compliance with maintenance,
servicing and staff training. But I am struggling hugely with a staff
training provider. I want to be able to prove that the 2 members of staff
who use the machines have had recent training in line with the HSE
directive - but cannot find anything. Providers train the assessors for HSE
but not users.
Has anyone used a training provider for a half day course within the UK?

Could you please post the following to the dist list? Thank you! Stephanie
Lussier

2018-2019 Bank of America Fellowship in Paper Conservation

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (HMSG) is pleased to offer a
2018-2019
Bank of America Conservation Fellowship in Paper Conservation beginning in
the fall of 2018, for the duration of nine months. The Fellow will work
collaboratively with Hirshhorn paper and objects conservators on the
research and treatment of Robert Rauschenberg’s *Fossil for Bob Morris, *
1965.



The object is a quintessential example of Rauschenberg’s integrated
approach of blending traditional materials with everyday objects. It is
comprised of paper, metal, plastic, rubber, and fabric on canvas. In
addition to displaying general aging and deterioration of its components,
the object has been displayed in various configurations throughout its
history. The project will explore not only traditional treatment and
preventive conservation methodologies, but will address questions related
to the replacement of deteriorated elements with contemporary materials. It
will include extensive research into materials and construction and an
exploration of past exhibition documentation to inform treatment and future
display.



This fellowship will allow the successful applicant the opportunity to
expand their knowledge of paper and contemporary art conservation in a
collaborative setting. The fellow will work closely with the paper,
sculpture, and variable media conservators at HMSG. The fellow will be an
integral member of the conservation team, gaining experience in exhibition
installation and object preparation, and participating in day-to-day
activities in a contemporary art conservation lab.



The fellowship stipend is $35,000.



Eligibility

The successful candidate will be a recent graduate of a recognized training
conservation program in the U.S., Canada, or abroad. The candidate should
have a specialization in paper conservation, with an interest in working
with contemporary art/composite materials.

[Consdistlist] Tools and Techniques for UV/Visible Fluorescence Documentation Workshop

2018-06-04 Thread Sarah Saetren
The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC) presents the 
"Tools and Techniques for UV/Visible Fluorescence Documentation" workshop 
August 8 - 10, 2018 at Duke University Libraries in Durham, NC. The workshop 
will be instructed by Jennifer McGlinchey with assistance from Tessa Bronwyn 
Hamilton, and organized by Beth Doyle.

UV/visible fluorescence is a powerful, non-destructive imaging technique that 
can be used as a diagnostic tool and to inform conservation treatment. The 
workshop will provide an opportunity for conservators and conservation 
photographers of all specialties to learn more about the tools and techniques 
needed to create high quality UVA induced visible fluorescence (UV/visible) 
images that can be meaningfully analyzed, compared and viewed. With wider 
understanding and consistent execution by conservators, this technique can 
become increasing useful for sharing data across the field and documenting 
cultural heritage.

The workshop will emphasize the overall goals and general techniques for 
capturing UV/visible images that can be applied to a wide variety of equipment 
and media. Scientific data will be used to illustrate the positive and negative 
aspects of materials, giving participants the knowledge to evaluate new tools 
and equipment. When possible, low-cost and practical options will be presented. 
Equipment will be provided by the instructor and host institution. Participants 
are not expected to bring their own imaging equipment. Participants may bring 
small artifacts for imaging if desired. This workshop is appropriate for 
conservators and conservation photographers of all experience levels and 
specialties.

[Consdistlist] ICON Paintings Group Conference 2018 "Wet Paint: interaction between water and paintings", National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Friday 12th October 2018 - CALL FOR POSTERS

2018-06-04 Thread Donatella Banti
PAINTINGS GROUP CONFERENCE 2018: CALL FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS



"Wet Paint: interactions between water and paintings"



A one-day conference is to be held at the National Museum of Scotland,
Edinburgh, on Friday 12th October 2018.



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 available at
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wet-paintinteractions-
between-water-and-paintings-tickets-44057892342.



The call for POSTER PRESENTATIONS is now open.

If you would like to be considered, please forward a short proposal using
the poster proposal template (https://technology-trust-
news.org/t/6S6-5O2LK-L8ZMP1-35BUJO-1/c.aspx) to the group secretary at
icon.paintingsgr...@googlemail.com no later than Friday 13th July 2018.

It should be noted that it is our intention to publish the posters as part
of our successful series of postprints.



The receipt of abstracts for oral presentations is now closed.



Guide for Poster Abstracts:

The proposals should be a maximum of 500 words.

We will also require an abstract in word format (approximately 200 words)
with a biography of the author(s) for the conference handouts.
