INCCA Student Café pt.5: Innovative Treatments

INCCA

Presentations will be given by Clarissa Faccini de Lima, Catarina Rocha Pires and Edwin Huang.

We are excited to announce the fifth INCCA Café: Student &amp; Early Career Research: Innovative Treatments, focusing on the challenges of contemporary materials in the conservation of contemporary art.Presentations will be given by Clarissa Faccini de Lima, Catarina Rocha Pires and Edwin Huang. The talks will include two PhD summaries, the first discussing material incompatibility in contemporary art with a case study on Cabrita’s "Flor Negra" (1999) and how magnetism has been tested as an alternative method to control the physical-mechanical alterations of the metal support. The second will summarise ongoing research on how atomic oxygen can be used to clean sensitive paintings and how this compares to other methods such as soft cellulose particle blasting, CO₂ snow, and laser cleaning, and other traditional cleaning techniques. The final talk will examine the material and theoretical challenges involved in the conservation of time-based media installations and how non-Western methodologies can be used to care for them.The talks will be followed by an open and informal conversation with all speakers and participants about how the choice of the artist’s materials impacts and influences the conservation of these works.For better language accessibility we provide English live caption and Portuguese AI translation in this event.All are welcome to join.
