Call for papers--Gerry Hedley Student Symposium

Call for papers
The 30th Gerry Hedley Student Symposium
Tate Britain
June 11-13, 2012

Presented by Northumbria University with kind support from Tate

Continuing the Legacy

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Gerry Hedley Student Symposium,
papers will be sought from both recent graduates and professionals
to be presented alongside those traditionally given by student
speakers. The symposium aims to reflect on the pioneering work of
Gerry Hedley and the continuing contributions of graduates of the
conservation programmes at the Courtauld Institute, the Hamilton
Kerr Institute and Northumbria University over the last 30 years,
serving to celebrate the richness of our shared profession.

Two kinds of submission will be accepted:

    A brief 10-minute paper.  These are intended to offer
    professionals unable to give a full-length paper the opportunity
    to share their research and experiences.  By grouping together
    shorter presentations we hope to encourage informal debate and
    give a broader perspective of current issues in conservation.

    20-minute paper with a further 10 minutes for questions.  This
    gives the opportunity to present a longer research paper in the
    same format as those to be presented by students at the
    symposium.

Papers should engage with the following themes:

    New developments relating to Gerry Hedley's work, particularly
    focusing upon advances in lining techniques and practical,
    aesthetic and ethical considerations of cleaning.

    Advancements in and applications of technical analysis.

    Issues relating to the treatment of modern and contemporary
    paintings.

Students of the Works of Art on Paper programme at Northumbria
University have often presented papers at the Symposium. Graduates
and professional conservators are welcome to submit related
interdisciplinary papers.

The submission deadline for abstracts is Friday February 3, 2012,
with first drafts required by April 2, 2012.
