Conference on technology and conservation of modern materials in design

Future Talks 013
Lectures and Workshops on Technology and Conservation of Modern
    Materials in Design
Pinakothek der Moderne
Munich, Germany
October 23-25, 2013

The Conservation Department, Die Neue Sammlung - The International
Design Museum Munich - is pleased to announce its third
international Future Talks conference: "Future Talks 013: Lectures
and Workshops on Technology and Conservation of Modern Materials in
Design".

After an overwhelming response to our last two Future Talks
conferences

    Future Talks 009, Future Talks 011
    <URL:http://www.die-neue-sammlung.de/event/?lang=en>

we are looking forward to another exciting three-day-congress on
international research projects and case studies on active
conservation treatments and technology of modern materials in
design.

Lectures: Recent advances in this field, addressing technology,
design and production processes of modern materials, new and
innovative treatment methods for degrading plastics as well as
current research and ongoing projects will be presented. During the
three day conference experts from all over the world will share
their experiences and knowledge in this field.

Knowing very well that the conservation of modern materials is not
only limited to design objects, a part of the programme is dedicated
to conservation projects on modern/contemporary works of art.

Workshops: In addition to two days of lectures this time one entire
day is dedicated to a number of exciting workshops, closely
connected to everything you'd always wanted to learn about
conservation of modern materials but never dared to ask.  It is with
great pleasure that we can already confirm the participation of
following experts in these fields. These include amongst others:

    Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Bonten
    Universitat Stuttgart, Institut fur Kunststofftechnik

    Prof. Anna Comiotto
    Hochschule der Kunste Bern

    Dr. Virginia Costa
    Institut National du Patrimoine, Paris

    Dr. Brenda Keneghan
    Polymer scientist, Victoria and Albert Museum London

    Anna Lagana
    Freelance modern material conservator/researcher, Amsterdam

    Dr. Thea van Oosten
    Formerly senior researcher, research department, Netherlands
    Institute for Cultural Heritage ICN, Amsterdam

    Dr. Yvonne Shashoua
    Senior researcher, research department, National Museum of
    Denmark

    Prof. Dr. Phil. Friederike Waentig
    Cologne University of Applied Sciences

Panel Discussion: It is with great pleasure that one of the most
famous and innovative German designers Konstantin Grcic will talk
about his designs with experts from the plastics industry, plastics
engineers and conservators about design and sustainability of
plastic furniture.

Save the date: The conference will take place from October 23-25,
2013 at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany,

The conference and associated publication will be in English.

There will also be social events and opportunities to visit local
conservation studios, research labs, plastic producers and design
studios on Saturday October 26, 2013.

We very much appreciate the participation of students, scientists,
conservators and curators. The conference and the associated
publication will be in English. The eagerly awaited publication FT
011 will be available at the conference.

Organizer: The Conservation Department of Die Neue Sammlung, The
International Design Museum Munich
(<URL:http://www.die-neue-sammlung.de>). Die Neue Sammlung houses
the world's largest and most important collection of industrial
design. The large number of objects reflects the technologies and
materials developed in the course of the 20th and 21st century,
attesting in particular to the use of plastics. However, unlike most
traditional materials these are subject to a dynamic aging process
and after only a short time often already bear irreversible traces
of their age. Corresponding types of damage can hardly be reconciled
with the respective designer's original intentions and are often
problematic in terms of conservation. Since its founding in 2002,
the Conservation Department has become an important hub for the
conservation and maintenance of modern design objects, through
research into the deterioration and preservation of the collections,
the development of new conservation processes and the knowledge of
its original technology. It also plays an active role in networking
and information sharing.

Both knowledge and network expanded to the FUTURE TALKS, an
international platform, initiating an intensive and profound
discourse on practical conservation treatments of modern materials.
