Call for participation!
Deadline: 22nd November 2024
Students and early career conservators (2 years post-graduation) of all disciplines - paintings, paper, textiles, sculpture, time-based media etc. are invited to present in the fourth INCCA Student Café, focusing the challenges of contemporary materials in the conservation of contemporary art.
The Café will consist of 5 speakers, each of which will have 5 minutes to outline their research. All research projects are welcome, including PhDs, masters, or case studies completed during a work placement/internship. Presentations could focus on technical research and analysis, treatment examples or ageing studies focusing on an artist’s chosen materials and methods, or the conservation materials needed to treat complex and challenging contemporary materials. Presentations can be in any format.
After all presentations, speakers and participants are invited to ask any questions they have to encourage open and honest discussion. Professionals and students from all disciplines and career stages are welcome to sign up to listen to the presentations and take part in the discussion.
We hope this Café will provide a platform for early career conservators to meet new INCCA members and other professionals in their field and get more involved with INCCA in the future. Presenting your project could lead to exciting collaboration opportunities or even to a subsequent individual INCCA talk. Please fill in the participation request form (link) by 22nd November 2024, including your presentation topic/abstract, a short bio and 1-2 project images with credits.
Please contact info@incca.org for any questions.
The INCCA Student Café pt.4 will be hosted online via Zoom on 6th February 2025, 10am CET (Amsterdam 10am / London 9am / Gweru 11am / Seoul 6pm / Mexico City 3am / LA 1am) and will not be recorded.
