Lectures and Workshops on Technology and Conservation of Modern Materials in Design
After an overwhelming response to our last two FUTURE TALKS conferences
(FUTURE TALKS 009, FUTURE TALKS 011 / www.die-neue-sammlung.de/event/?lang=en) we are looking forward to another exciting three-day-congress on international research projects and case studies on active conservation treatments and technology of modern materials in design.
LECTURES
Recent advances in this field, addressing technology, design and production processes of modern materials, new and innovative treatment methods for degrading plastics as well as current research and ongoing projects will be presented. During the three day conference experts from all over the world will share their experiences and knowledge in this field.
Knowing very well that the conservation of modern materials is not only limited to design objects, a part of the programme is dedicated to conservation projects on modern/contemporary works of art.
WORKSHOPS
In addition to two days of lectures this time one entire day is dedicated to a number of exciting workshops, closely connected to everything you’d always wanted to learn about conservation of modern materials but never dared to ask:
