    Group
Interim Meeting
"Polychrome Sculpture: Artistic Tradition and Construction
    Techniques"

hosted at

The Burrell Collection
Glasgow, Scotland
13-14 April 2012

This two day symposium will focus on artistic traditions within the
field of polychrome sculpture relating to construction techniques.
This meeting is intended to follow on from the successful symposium
held in Maastricht (October 2010) and is hosted by The Burrell
Collection, one of Glasgow's most prestigious museums.

Emphasis is given to papers and posters presenting information
regarding the construction processes within the field of polychrome
sculpture and the conservation treatment of these artworks. It is
hoped that a wide variety of three-dimensional polychrome supports
will be addressed, including wood, terracotta, ceramic, ivory,
metal, etc. Furthermore, comparisons between practices developed in
different artistic circles will be given prominence.

Language:: All proceedings will be presented in English.

Publication: Postprints will be published by Archetype Books.

Dinner: A civic reception will be held on Friday 13 March 2012 at
the Glasgow City Chambers.
