Hello INCCA friends,

This June, we have a Café and a Talk lining up for our INCCA Community! One on innovative treatments particularly focusing on the challenges of contemporary materials, and the second one on the preservation of digital-based photographic artworks.

INCCA Student Café pt.5: Innovative Treatments will take place on 5th June 2025, 4pm CEST, 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, containing two PhD summaries of material incompatibility in contemporary art with a case study on Cabrita’s "Flor Negra" (1999) and how atomic oxygen can be used to clean sensitive paintings, followed by an examination of 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. For more information and registration for this Café, visit here.

On 19th June, 3pm CEST, Monica Marchesi from Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam will have a conversation with Vivian van Saaze of Maastricht University & Dutch Heritage Agency during INCCA Talk: From Bits to Ink – Preserving and Printing Digital-Based Photographic Artworks, presenting the newly developed guidelines titled “From Bits to Ink – Preserving and Printing Digital-Based Photographic Artworks”. Based on extensive interviews and collaborative discussions with a wide range of professionals—artists, conservators, curators, registrars, and printing experts—this document reflects a shared, cross-disciplinary effort to address the evolving needs of contemporary photographic conservation. Read more about this Talk and register here.

We look forward to welcome you at both events!

Best wishes to everyone,

INCCA Steering Committee
