Living Matter/ La Materia Viva
The Preservation of Biological Materials Used in Contemporary Art

MUAC and ENCRyM, Mexico City 
June 3-4, 2019

Organized by the Getty Conservation Institute, the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo (MUAC) of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma Mexico, and ENCRyM (Escuela Nacional de Conservación, Restauración y Museografía “Manuel del Castillo Negrete”) of the National Institute of Anthropology and History.

Countless artists from Marcel Duchamps, Dieter Roth, Andy Warhol, Piero Manzoni to Ed Ruscha, Anya Gallaccio, Teresa Margolles, Adrian Villar Rojas, Marta Palau and Damien Hirst have used biological materials (food, bodily fluids, plant material, etc.) in their art.

Because these materials are not only prone to rapid decay but often to putrefaction processes leading to complete disappearance, biological materials used in art pose very specific conservation problems.

Solutions to these problems can be of different natures, including: altering drastically the material’s behavior by embedding it in resin or inserting it in modified atmospheres—perhaps at the expense of some of the qualities of the work or periodically replacing parts or the whole of the work—but clear rules for the replacement have then to be established. In some cases, a work is meant to disappear, so the very act of preservation goes against the work’s intended nature. Yet another challenge is the display of these works in a museum environment might also present a preservation risk to other works of art in the same space.

As often is the case, there is no fit-for-all approach.

Symposium
Living Matter/ La Materia Viva
will discuss the broad implications and challenges (conceptual, ethical, and practical) associated with collecting, displaying, and preserving contemporary works that include biological materials. It will explore how the initial intention for the work might conflict with museum policies and the ways this might impact both the nature and lifespan of the work, present a range of possible solutions through case studies, and give an overview of current thinking and practices on this topic.

The two-day event includes invited keynote lectures and paper submissions as well as panel discussions, visits, and an accompanying exhibition. The symposium languages will be English and Spanish.

 

Registration
Detailed program and registration information will be available in January 2019.

Call for Abstract Submissions for Papers and Posters
Abstracts will be accepted in English and Spanish; however the symposium proceedings will be English language.

Papers dealing with philosophical and ethical considerations, historical perspectives, collaborations with artists and across disciplines, case studies, updates on research projects, documentation strategies, as well as papers presenting innovative solutions and approaches are welcomed.

Abstracts should include:

  • author’s name and affiliation
  • full title
  • 350 words summary
  • author contact details

Please submit abstracts to livingmatter@getty.edu. Deadline for submission: November 15, 2018.

Living Matter / La material viva
Preservación de materiales biológicos usados en arte contemporáneo 
MUAC and ENCRyM, Mexico DF 
Junio 3-4, 2019

 

Mineralización estéril, 1997. Metal, glass and human ashes. Grupo SEMEFO. Colelction Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, Adquisition


Organizado por: The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) y la Escuela Nacional de Conservación, Restauración y Museografía “Manuel del Castillo Negrete” (ENCRyM) del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), México.

Innumerables artistas, como Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Piero Manzoni hasta Ed Ruscha, Anya Gallaccio, Teresa Margolles, Adrian Villar, Marta Palau y Damien Hirst han usado materiales biológicos (comida, fluidos corporales, material vegeral) en sus obras.
Debido a que estos materiales no solo son propensos a la descomposición rápida, sino también a procesos de putrefacción que pueden llevar a la desaparición completa, los materiales biológicos utilizados en el arte plantean problemas de conservación muy específicos.
Las soluciones a esta problemática pueden ser de naturaleza diferente: alterar drásticamente el comportamiento del material embebiéndolo en resina o insertándolo en atmósferas modificadas, quizás a expensas de algunas de las cualidades de la obra; o reemplazar periódicamente partes o toda la obra es otra posibilidad, pero se deben establecer guías claras para el reemplazo. Como pasa a menudo no hay una solución absoluta para todos los casos. Otro desafío más es que la exhibición de estas obras en un ambiente de museo también podría representar un riesgo para la preservación de otras obras de arte en el mismo espacio.


Simposio internacional
Living Matter / La material viva discutirá algunas implicaciones y desafíos (conceptuales, éticos y prácticos) asociados con la exhibición, colección y preservación de obras contemporáneas que incluyen materiales biológicos. Se explorará cómo la intención inicial de la obra podría entrar en conflicto con las políticas del museo y cómo eso podría afectar tanto la naturaleza como la duración de la obra. Se presentará una gama de posibles soluciones a través de estudios de casos; y dar una visión general de las ideas y prácticas actuales sobre este tema.
Este evento de dos días tiene una convocatoria abierta a recibir propuestas de presentaciones de países de habla hispana y de otros países en general, también incluye ponencias magistrales por invitación, paneles de discusión, visitas guiadas y una exhibición. Los idiomas oficiales para el simposio son Español e Inglés.

ART CONTEMPORAIN, CONSERVATION ET CONSERVERIE

En 1795 Nicolas Appert met au point un procédé de conservation associant un traitement thermique des aliments sous haute température et leur conditionnement dans un récipient étanche – initialement des bocaux en verre. À partir de 1810, le procédé de la boîte métallique sertie, breveté en Angleterre, connaît un vif succès et son usage tend à supplanter celui des bocaux.

Depuis les années 1970, le champ de ce qui est considéré comme patrimoine ou comme art ne cesse de s’étendre conduisant les institutions oeuvrant à sa protection à lui conférer une acception toujours moins restrictive et plus large. Artefact ordinaire mais objet emblématique du XXè siècle, la boîte de conserve accède ainsi naturellement au rang d’objet patrimonial et figure en bonne place dans les collections des musées ethnographiques ou d’art contemporain.

En septembre 2014, la Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-restauration (HE-Arc CR) située à Neuchâtel en Suisse a initié le projet CANS (Conservation of cans in collections), financé pour une durée de trois ans par le Fonds national suisse pour la recherche scientifique (FNS) avec, pour objectif, de recenser des collections détentrices, d’identifier les principales altérations et processus de dégradation et d’envisager des solutions de traitement. Au terme de la première phase du projet, un workshop a été organisé à Neuchâtel en février 2017.

INCCA-f (International network for the conservation of contemporary art – branche francophone) a souhaité organiser, en collaboration avec l’équipe du projet CANS, des journées d’étude consacrées à la problématique de la conservation-restauration des boîtes de conserve métalliques pleines dans les collections patrimoniales et plus spécifiquement dans le contexte de l’art contemporain. Au centre du propos, l’interaction entre un contenu organique et un contenant métallique supposément hermétique, dans une perspective temporelle non bornée – les collections muséales françaises étant inaliénables.

Material Futures : Matter, Memory and Loss in Contemporary Art Production and Preservation

Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, UK, 28th – 30th June 2017

Resume :

Contemporary artistic practices have prompted a reconsideration of boundaries between the roles of artists and institutional staff, and between processes of art production, exhibition, and preservation. This two-day conference will provide a forum for professionals, researchers, and students working across different disciplines to discuss urgent questions regarding artwork identity, permanence and impermanence, reproducibility and replication, and the role of the artist and the institution in constructing and maintaining memory. It will explore these questions and other areas where artistic practice, curatorial practice, and conservation decision-making intersect through themes of materiality, memory and loss.

Registration :

Numbers for the conference are limited and early registration is advised. Register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Online booking is available at https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873574036

PRESENTATION

The works of Joseph Beuys, made with the use of organic material, degrade in time ; Pier Paolo Calzolari instead uses stabilized natural materials. The works of Anselm and Wolfgang Laib require daily maintenance ; the complex installations by Dieter Roth can only be reactivated by his son to whom he hands the work with instructions to install it. Works of this type open up important questions. Which and how many variations can a work of art bear while still being the same? What are the margins of the owner’s intervention in terms of exhibition and conservation of the work? What role does the restorer play today? Contemporary works of art imply a number of challenges both on the side of philosophy, for problems that concern their identity, and on the legal side, as regards their protection. There are many contemporary materials, in addition to the more traditional ones : lights, smells, sounds, food, consumables and waste, to name just a few. All of them ask important questions in terms of preventive conservation and restoration.
The summer school will examine the theoretical and practical issues raised by the contemporary arts in the context of law, philosophy and restoration. The examination of theoretical issues will take place by exploring the many case studies produced by the arts, and will unfold in dialogue with the artists and the industry. The theoretical work also provides a basis for the consideration of the structural characteristics and dynamics that characterize
the contemporary art world.

Join IIC and INCCA members from around the world as we collaborate to explore the conservation of contemporary culture. Conservation of contemporary works of art presents a range of practical, theoretical and, indeed, philosophical challenges – it’s always new, always different, always stimulating. Those working in the conservation profession must approach these artworks in a different way, perhaps from the point of view of mechanical engineers or anthropologists or manufacturers of plastics, or …

Enlèvement des graffitti, Stage INP, 22-23 juin 2016

Nouvelles méthodes pour la protection des biens en extérieur et l’enlèvement des tags.

Ce stage présentera un nouveau vernis aqueux, à base d’Aquazol, mis au point par Richard Wolbers qui permet de protéger les biens culturels situés à l’extérieur : bâtiments, sculptures en pierre, plâtre et objets ou peintures polychromes. Ce vernis a la particularité d’être aqueux, donc de ne pas poser de problème de toxicité lors de la pose pour le restaurateur mais aussi pour les passants et de pouvoir être enlevé avec des techniques aqueuses tout en résistant aux intempéries, notamment à la pluie.

The German Association of Conservator-Restorers (VDR) is delighted to announce the major international symposium Collecting and Conserving Performance Art, to be hosted by the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in Germany on June 9—11, 2016.

Over the last decade, art collections and museums around the world have seen a rapid increase in the acquisition of historic and contemporary performance art and its relics. This emerging collection practice challenges artists and collection caretakers alike : How can the time- and site-specific experience of an artist’s live performance be expanded and transformed into an artwork with a sustainable collection life? What status do performance props and documentary materials hold within a collection, and how is their status determined? How can the artwork’s identity and integrity be preserved and experienced now and in the future? What information and components should be entering the collection to ensure the authentic reactivation of the work? How are copyright laws, artist’s rights and future interpreter’s rights accounted for in the acquisition contract? What are the vulnerabilities inherent to a performance artwork? And how are preservation risks identified, documented and responded to?

Il paraît aujourd’hui difficilement imaginable de traverser un espace dédié à l’art contemporain sans y rencontrer des dispositifs intégrant le médium vidéo sous de multiples formes. Cette multiplicité n’a fait que croître en près de cinquante ans d’ « art vidéo » et d’intégration progressive aux collections d’art contemporain : de cette extrême diversité des modes d’existence et d’utilisation de la vidéo découlent un certain nombre de défis liés à la conservation de ces œuvres particulièrement instables. L’obsolescence technologique à laquelle elles sont soumises impose, en effet, au secteur de collection dont elles dépendent, des procédures sans cesse renouvelées.

L’Atelier 3 se propose d’explorer les différents supports, formats et dispositifs liés à la technique de la vidéo telle qu’utilisée par les artistes, ainsi que de donner la parole aux différents acteurs concernés (création, acquisition, exposition, conservation), afin de dresser un panorama des principales problématiques techniques liées à la vidéo et à ses dérivés.

LES CAHIERS D’INCCA-f, vol. 1 : « Documentation technique, techniques de documentation »

Publication du premier volume des Cahiers d’INCCA-f

cahier inccaf 2

La présente publication fait suite à la deuxième rencontre des adhérents d’INCCA-f organisée le 7 février 2014 à l’auditorium des Archives municipales de Marseille, avec le soutien du Centre interdisciplinaire pour la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine (CICRP, Marseille), sur le thème : Documentation technique, techniques de documentation.

À l’invitation d’INCCA‑f, cinq intervenants d’horizons très divers – deux restauratrices, une archiviste et deux ingénieurs – se sont succédé, exposant et confrontant leurs points de vue sur les notions de document ou de documentation et d’objets ou de dispositifs techniques dans une perspective patrimoniale impliquant, a fortiori, un enjeu de conservation.

Marie-Hélène Breuil , Replace or remake‪‪  ‪‪? Considérations sur la notion de remake en conservation-restauration, revue Marges n.17

Marie-Hélène Breui, replace or Remake ? Considérations sur la notion de remake en conservation-restauration. Article publié dans le nuémro 17 de la Revue Marges : Remake, Reprise, répétition, sous la direction de Jérôme Glicenstein.
Résumé

Le terme ‪‪remake‪‪ n’est utilisé que depuis très peu de temps dans les débats sur la conservation-restauration des œuvres contemporaines. Le statut de l’œuvre «‪‪ ‪‪refaite‪‪ ‪‪» ne semble pas toujours très clair, oscillant entre la copie d’exposition, la duplication et la reconstitution, et dépend de son auteur et du contexte de re-production. Cet article porte sur l’occurrence de ces termes dans les textes fondamentaux de la discipline et sur une étude de cas – la possibilité d’un ‪‪remake‪‪ d’une œuvre de Richard Long, ‪‪White Rock Line‪‪ – que nous menons au sein du Département conservation-restauration des œuvres sculptées de l’Esba TALM Site de Tours et en partenariat avec le CAPC-Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux.‪‪

Introduction

Le projet Replace or remake ? entend questionner la pratique et la déontologie du conservateur-restaurateur confronté à des œuvres d’art contemporain dont la précarité matérielle implique que tout ou partie soit remplacé ou refait en vue de l’exposition de l’œuvre dans le maintien de sa fonction et de sa signification. Il implique diverses parties: , ER[cr]OS Tours , ESA Saint-Luc Liège, C2RMF, Capc Bordeaux, avec la collaboration d’INCCA-F
