AIC's Textile Specialty Group is in the process of planning our program for the 2005 AIC Annual Meeting. We welcome your ideas on what you would like to hear at the meeting. The theme for the general session is "documentation". Consider how documentation affects your work with textiles: How do you document large or very complex objects? How do you coordinate your documentation when working on an interdisciplinary project? Have you figured out a way to do your documentation more permanently/better/faster/cheaper? Do you have a case study where previous documentation (or lack thereof) played a significant role in the project? As always, papers on any textile topic are also welcome. In addition to documentation, some specific themes we are considering are: establishing a private practice or a new lab (things you wish you knew first), and the interdisciplinary development of enclosures or mounts for objects with textile components. We are also considering a quick tips session, where you can share your latest "eureka!" moment in a brief, informal way. Please send your ideas, abstracts and questions to Nancy Pollak, Art Care Associates, P O Box 4141, Frederick, MD, 21705; 301-845-1010; NRPOLLAK@xxxxxxx. |
