-We are excited to announce the third INCCA Café: Student & Early Career Research, focusing on the conservation of works by artists who work with the natural world and its materiality as well as artworks made from industrial materials that are situated outdoors. The Café will be held on the 3rd October 2024, 6pm CEST (Amsterdam 6pm/London 5pm/Gweru 6pm/Seoul 1am/Mexico City 10am/LA 9am/New York 12pm) and will not be recorded.
Presentations will be given by Aurora Cairoli, Rosemie Coppens, Marta Collado Barcina and Dea Moreno. The talks will include case studies on: the conservation of outdoor COR-TEN® sculpture; the artwork Goyesca (el grito) by June Papineau, an artist whose works can be described as interventions in nature, and directly respond to the vegetation of wetlands exploring issues of biodiversity; the conservation of a contemporary outdoor mural painting; and in the final talk Chlorophyll printing as an alternative photographic technique will be explored through interviews with three contemporary artists. The talks will be followed by a discussion about how connections to ‘the outdoors’ differently impacts and influences the conservation of these works.
This will be followed by an open and informal conversation with all speakers and participants. For better language accessibility we provide English live caption and Spanish AI translation in this event.
All are welcome to join. Please register here.
Presenters bio (by presentation order)
Aurora Cairoli I graduated at the University of Milan (Italy) with the master’s degree in Cultural Heritage Conservation Science. I have pursued different experiences abroad: first as an intern with the Cultural Heritage Research Group of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow, Poland at the PVCare project, and then at the Department of Conservation and Restoration at the School of Science and Technology at the NOVA University in Caparica, Portugal, studying a cellulose acetate artwork. Since January 2024, I am enrolled in the National PhD program in Heritage Science, held by Sapienza University in Rome in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. My research is focused on conservative methodologies for outdoor contemporary mural paintings.

Dea Moreno (Madrid, 2001) studied Conservation and Restoration of Cultural heritage at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and finished a master's degree in Conservation and Exhibition of Contemporary Art at the University of the Basque Country (UPV / EHU) in 2024. She has also completed her studies at the University of Ghent through a Blended Intensive Programme in analytical chemistry. His field of study has always included research into natural heritage and artworks with plant material. She has collaborated with biologists and botanists from institutions such as the MACB herbarium or the BIO herbarium. This has led her to give several lectures, such as at the IV Annual Symposium of Spanish Botany on Scientific Collections: Cultural and Natural Heritage, in León (2023), or at the V Conference of Botany Seminars of the UCM (2023). In addition to the natural field, it has also covered conservation-restoration work in other disciplines. He has worked in a graphic document intervention workshop, but has also participated in important projects such as the restoration of Jannis Kounellis' "Untitled" at the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, the altarpiece of San Sebastián in the church of Cercedilla (Madrid) or the cleaning of the frames of the rooms in the Museo Nacional del Prado.
