The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and Tate are pleased to announce a workshop entitled Cleaning of Acrylic Painted Surfaces (CAPS) to be held at Tate Britain from 3—6 July 2012.
The CAPS workshop aims to equip conservators with the knowledge and methodologies to understand and solve cleaning problems related to acrylic painted surfaces. The workshop will include lectures presenting new research, technology and practical advances, much of which has been developed by the course instructors. There will be a significant amount of hands-on activity designed to apply and test the different approaches. Participants will be provided with commercially available and custom-prepared cleaning materials for testing on paint films. Group discussions will be used to evaluate materials, techniques, applicability and effectiveness.
Application deadline: 23rd March 2012.
