\nConserving contemporary art? You now have until the 15th of July \u2026 to save the Now!
\nContemporary Art delivers contemporary problems to the conservation community\u2026and may mean that we deconstruct and re-invent \u2018standard\u2019 conservation thinking and practice.
\nSaving the Now: Crossing Boundaries to Conserve Contemporary Works<\/em>, IIC\u2019s next Congress, to be held from the 12th to the 16th September 2016, links so very well with its setting, Los Angeles, in allowing things to be looked at in very different and new ways.
\nThis can be a minefield \u2013 or a source of new and creative approaches to heritage conservation. As we move ahead with new artists, new materials, new concepts of what creativity is, we must adapt what conservation involves and tries to achieve. We may borrow from other areas of skill and expertise in doing this. We may change our concepts of what conservation is there to do in the first place \u2026
\nWhat are your thoughts, your experiences, your predictions? Let\u2019s start you off here:
\n\u2022 How do you work without the benefit or comfort of that well-established hierarchy of values available to colleagues working on more traditional heritage objects?
\n\u2022 Are you working with a range of different and varied conservation philosophies and approaches \u2013 from various countries and cultures, from differing disciplines and markets – to develop new methods for conserving contemporary works?
\n\u2022 What will we lose if your major guiding principle is the artist’s intent? If it is known at all, that is \u2026
\n\u2022 Can\u2028the commercial art market help influence Institutional thinking on conservation?
\n\u2022 How is public art influencing conservation practice and theory?
\n\u2022 Are the ethics and values used in conserving the built heritage applicable to the conservation of moveable heritage \u00ac\u2013 and vice versa?
\n\u2022 Can approaches used for conserving ethnographic collections be applied to contemporary art practice?
\n\u2022 Can non-materialistic philosophies help to move the field forward in broader terms?
\nSubmit your proposal for a paper or a poster now! It\u2019s easy: go to https:\/\/www.iiconservation.org\/congress<\/a> Share your expertise and learn first-hand what your colleagues around the world are doing!
\nA call for Student posters will be made later in the year.
\nPlease contact us at iic@iiconservation.org if you have any questions or wish to receive further information on the Congress<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
