ICOM-CC Photographic Materials Working Group Interim Meeting 2016<\/strong>
\nSeptember 21-24, 2016, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
\nMeeting theme: Uniques & Multiples<\/strong>
\nCall for Papers<\/strong>
\nThe Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Photographic Materials Working Group of ICOM-CC are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for the 2016 Photographic Materials Working Group\u00a0Interim Meeting, scheduled for 21-24 September 2016 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This meeting is an important gathering of photograph conservators and historians from all over the world. Past meetings have been held in Wellington, Athens, Rochester, and Paris, among other locations. The 2016 meeting will be comprised of two days of workshops and tours (21-22 September, optional) followed by two days of lectures and a poster display (23-24 September).
\nLecture Day 1<\/strong> will be dedicated to the meeting theme: Uniques & Multiples.<\/em>
\nThe joint contemplation of the unique<\/em> and the multiple<\/em> touches upon the very essence of photography, from its beginnings in the 19th<\/sup> century until the present. While seemingly contradictory, the two concepts are actually inextricably linked and can be explored on many levels. Nic\u00e9phore Ni\u00e9pce, for example, was concerned with the reproduction of works of art in order to multiply and disseminate images of them, and yet in fact very few photographic artefacts form his legacy. Daguerre\u2019s process produced a unique photographic object, but many thousands of daguerreotypes can be found in collections today. Early pioneers duplicated daguerreotypes by etching and printing from them or by creating galvanic copies; these techniques then became obsolete within years of their invention.
\nIn our digital era of mass photography, unique analogue processes such as ambrotypes and tintypes are flourishing. Most recently, a 20th<\/sup> century photographic unique, the instant print, teetered on the brink of obsolescence as a result of the takeover of digital photography, but it has been revived and is currently thriving. Many questions remain unanswered on the materials and techniques, but also on the conservation and exhibition of unique photographs, such as daguerreotypes, photogenic drawings, colour screen plates, and contemporary prints with applied media; and serial objects, such as numbered editions of colour photographs and inkjet prints, may pose ethical and practical questions of reprinting and replacement. These and other technically and temporally recurrent variations of the unique <\/em>and the multiple<\/em> will be studied in breadth and depth on the first day of the conference.
\nLecture Day 2<\/strong>: Free conservation topics
\nAll original submissions covering topics relevant to the analysis, treatment, study and care of photographic materials will be considered.
