In the past month we had the opportunity to hold a small but very nice lunch meeting in Lisbon during ICOM-CC, where 12 network members were present as well as 2 other enthusiastic conservators: Ana Dinger, Ana Isabel Pereira, Cristina Montagner, Donald Sale, Hanna Hölling, IJsbrand Hummelen, Joana Lia Ferreira, Julie Gilman, Luiz Souza, Patricia Schossler, Rita Macedo, Sanneke Stigter, Sara Fragoso and Tatja Scholte.
It was great to be able to get to know each other, giving faces to names some of us already knew but never had the chance to meet (!), and to find out a bit more about each others' work. In this small sample of researchers on contemporary art conservation there were several people working on material issues, conservation theory, installations and also performance-based artworks.
Hope to see you all soon,
Joana Lia Ferreira
