1. [NEW ITEM] Vale Prof. Dr. Michael Petzet

On Wednesday, 29 May 2019, the long-time President of the German National Committee of ICOMOS and former President of ICOMOS International, Prof. Dr. Michael Petzet, died unexpectedly.

Petzet studied art history and archaeology in Munich and Paris from 1951 to 1958 and after his doctorate worked in museums and the Palace and Gardens Administration in Bavaria. In 1974 he was appointed Bavarian Conservator General, an office he held until 1999. From 1988 to 2012, Petzet was President of the German National Committee of ICOMOS and from 1999 to 2008 International President of ICOMOS.

With his numerous writings and lectures, Petzet made major contributions to the principles of contemporary monument conservation worldwide. As an internationally recognized expert on World Heritage issues, he was a sought-after UNESCO advisor and reviewer. He is regarded as a pioneer in the Preventive Monitoring of World Heritage sites to avoid monument conflicts and founded the ICOMOS publication series “Heritage at Risk”.

In 2013, Petzet was awarded the Karl-Friedrich-Schinkel-Ring of the Deutsches Nationalkomitee für Denkmalschutz for his lifetime achievement.

“With Petzet,” said the acting president of ICOMOS Germany, the former Berlin state conservator Jörg Haspel, “the international monument world has lost one of the great conservators of the present day. ICOMOS will always honour the memory of its honorary president”.

Australia ICOMOS offers its deepest condolences to Dr Petzet’s family, friends and colleagues.

IIC 28th Biennial Congress – Current practices and challenges in built heritage conservation
2-6 November 2020, Edinburgh

This congress of the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (IIC) looks at the role of conservators and conservation scientists in the conservation of built heritage.

The congress will cover the conservation of a wide range of built heritage including: archaeological sites, archives and collections; historic buildings, castles and palaces; religious buildings including churches and temples; built structures including bridges, walls and monuments; in situ collections housed in the buildings for which they were commissioned or collected and decorative surfaces in historic buildings.

We are looking for new and original, unpublished work, relevant to the Congress theme and to conservation. Proposals demonstrating collaborative working with other conservation professionals will be of particular interest. Abstracts for papers and posters covering the following related topics are invited:

  • traditional practice vs. modern approaches
  • urbanisation and environmental impacts on built heritage
  • protection of archaeological sites in situ
  • the management of tourists visiting heritage sites
  • the challenges of maintaining archaeological archives and stores
  • sustainable use of heritage sites
  • scientific research that enhances understanding of the built heritage or informs conservation practice
  • conservation of decorative surfaces including paintings, plaster, stone and mosaic
  • public engagement with built heritage conservation including interpretation and conservation in action

Preference will be given to abstracts that record new research and application of innovative conservation techniques; case studies will be considered but only where they record significant new information about the application of conservation practice. Papers and posters pointing the way to future challenges and research needs will be welcomed.

You can submit your proposals for a paper or poster at this link.

 The closing date for proposals to be submitted has been extended to 14 June 2019.

3. [NEW ITEM] Review of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 – Phase 2 – Australia ICOMOS Submission

Australia ICOMOS recently made a submission on Phase 2 of the review of the Western Australian Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. The proposed approach of the review is to repeal the existing Act and draft new legislation that will recognise, protect, manage and celebrate the places and objects that are important to Aboriginal culture. It is also proposed to establish a framework for active engagement by Traditional owners and knowledge holders in decision making for heritage places to which they have a connection, and promote efficient land use by industry and other land users. For more information, see the WA Dept of Planning, Lands and Heritage website.

The Australia ICOMOS submission can be viewed and downloaded at this link. The Australia ICOMOS submission was prepared with the assistance of the Australia ICOMOS Indigenous Heritage Reference Group.

8. [NEW ITEM] New publication on the Venice Charter

BACK TO THE SPIRIT OF THE VENICE CHARTER – Summary and conclusions of the seminar organized by ICOMOS France

The first reflections on the active conservation of historical monuments began in the 19th century. This culminated in the emergence of an international awareness from 1889 in Paris, which was confirmed in Athens in 1931, consolidated in Paris in 1957, and became a reality in Venice in 1964 when the Second International Congress of Architects and Technicians of Historical Monuments adopted the first International Charter on the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites. Adopted by ICOMOS the following year, it became the cornerstone of international doctrine, which was later supplemented by numerous texts. Despite several unsuccessful attempts to ‘update’ the charter, today it remains the ‘gold standard’, in itself a monument to the doctrine.

Expressions of interest (EOI) are invited for tours and events that might be offered (outside Sydney) before and/or after the Twentieth Triennial General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of ICOMOS (GA2020), which will be held in Sydney between 1 and 10 October 2020. #icomosga2020 – GA WEBSITE NOW LIVE

At GA2020 as many as 1,500 heritage experts will enjoy an engaging program of site visits, functions, workshops and a four-day Scientific Symposium on the theme of ‘Shared Cultures – Shared Heritage – Shared Responsibility’, which will leave a legacy for the management of cultural heritage and the communities that value and care for it in Australia and globally. There will be associated meetings of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committees, other ICOMOS committees, workshops training sessions and excursions to cultural heritage places.

GA2020 will also provide opportunities for prior or subsequent visits to other parts of Australia, so that delegates may experience and learn about other heritage properties and stories or participate in related activities such as workshops and Australia ICOMOS Members may have the opportunity to contribute to GA2020 in ways other than during the Sydney event itself.

A selection of ‘official’ pre and post tours and events will be included in the GA2020 program and registration process. Expressions of interest are encouraged from Australia ICOMOS Members, and both government and non-government organisations who would be prepared to offer a pre and/or post GA2020 tour or event. This is on the basis that the GA2020 Managers will facilitate bookings, but the host will provide venues, local travel arrangements and program content, including any necessary staffing, support materials or catering. It is expected that delegates will book their own internal domestic flights, if required, based on suggestions from the tour and event organisers, preferably with the GA2020 official airline partner Qantas.

The GA2020 team is looking to offer a small selection of high-quality tours and other events, across a broad spectrum of heritage places.

Expressions of Interest should include the following information:

  • name and contact details (email address and contact number) of the proposed host (person / people / group / organisation)
  • background, size, experience and capability of the organisation
  • name and nature of the proposed event
  • 50 word ‘promotional paragraph’ for the proposed event
  • timing and duration, including indicative dates and program/itinerary
  • proposed event venue(s) and transport arrangements
  • minimum and maximum participant numbers
  • cost to delegates (excluding GA2020 booking / administrative fees)
  • any requirements, restrictions, limits or opportunities
  • how and why the proposed event or tour aligns with the GA2020 theme

The EOIs received will be evaluated by the GA2020 Executive Committee, having regard to the location and nature of the offer, the proposed host, resource implications and potential to align with the GA2020 theme. Subject to the volume and nature of the offers received, it is expected that applicants will be notified of the outcome during August 2019.

Expressions of interest should be should be lodged here by 5pm, Friday 28 June 2019.

Additional information of no more than 4 pages maximum may also be sent to the GA2020 Team by email.

PLEASE NOTE: so that they can be correctly added to the information that is submitted via the online form, please name any additional information files that are sent by email as follows:

  • GA2020_pre-post-tours_YOUR NAME, eg. “GA2020_pre-post-tours_Sally Smith”.

If you are submitting more than one file, please use the following file naming convention:

  • [GA2020_pre-post-tours_YOUR NAME_no], eg. “GA2020_pre-post-tours_Sally Smith_1”, “GA2020_pre-post-tours_Sally Smith_2”, etc.

ICOMOS GA2020 – Getting Involved and Connected!

Australia ICOMOS will host the ICOMOS 20th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GA2020) in Sydney, 1-10 October 2020, bringing more than 1,200 colleagues from around the world and delivering a lasting legacy to our cultural heritage and the communities that value and care for it.

The theme of the Scientific Symposium to be held as part of the GA2020, ‘Shared Cultures – Shared Heritage – Shared Responsibility’, provides a major opportunity to focus on Australia’s Indigenous and multicultural heritage in a global context.

Hosting a complex event of this scale is possible because we have one of the largest and most active ICOMOS national committees, and strong support from the Australian and NSW State Governments, the City of Sydney and both strategic partners and corporate patrons.

GA2020 is a large and complex undertaking and Australia ICOMOS Members who are seeking to arrange ANY related activities such as site visits, tours, workshops or seminars, are asked to do so in liaison with the GA2020 team. It is particularly requested that approaches to potential supporters, venues or government agencies are centrally co-ordinated, please. That will help us avoid double-up and embarrassment, facilitate scheduling and ensure we achieve mutually-beneficial relationships with our corporate and government supporters.

Getting Involved

Many Australia ICOMOS members are already actively planning and preparing for GA2020, but there are still lots of possibilities yet to come! These include, for example, opportunities to:

  • register as a delegate – discount early bird registrations will open in October 2019;
  • encourage colleagues to join Australia ICOMOS and to register as delegates;
  • offer a homestay opportunity for overseas delegates (if you live in Sydney);
  • participate in meetings or other events being arranged by the 28 ICOMOS International Scientific Committees;
  • facilitate support from organisations that might become strategic partners or corporate patrons of GA 2020 – a prospectus for partners and patrons will be available next month;
  • submit a paper or session proposal for the Scientific Symposium – the call for sessions and papers will be made later this year;
  • join one of the small committees responsible for different aspects of GA2020, such as functions, side events or Scientific Symposium sessions – these positions are being progressively filled through ‘Expressions of Interest’ (EOI) advertised in the Australia ICOMOS E-News;
  • help deliver one or more of the tours, talks and workshops that are already in the side event program, following the previous EOI – the side event program will be published soon;
  • propose a pre or post GA2020 tour or event – see below for the current EOI invitation which is open until 28 June;
  • stage a lead-in event in your State or Territory; or
  • take up one of the ‘volunteer’ staff roles that will be offered during 2020.

The Burra Charter turns 40 – Melbourne Discussion panel, 27 June – RSVP deadline 14 June

The Burra Charter turns 40 – Discussion panel series

As you will all know, the Burra Charter turns 40 in 2019, and as part of our acknowledgement of this significant landmark, Australia ICOMOS is hosting a series of panel discussions to celebrate and reflect on the document’s success and evolution, and to consider its capacity to respond to an evolving heritage landscape. Does the Burra Charter address all of the issues relevant to contemporary heritage practice? Is there, for example, a need for the Charter to respond more directly to intangible heritage? How can the Charter be adopted more completely in all areas of heritage practice? Is there a risk that the essence of the Charter will be diluted through further reviews?

The first of the discussion panels will take place at the University of Melbourne on 27 June 2019 (details below). The format, based on the ABC’s ‘Q and A’ show, will see a panel of four speakers respond to questions from the audience, with the discussion chaired by a moderator. Details about the panel members will be provided in the coming weeks.

The ‘Q & A’ will run for approximately an hour and a half and will be streamed live. The event is open to all.

Date & Time: 5:45pm (for 6:00pm), Thursday 27 June 2019
Location: Singapore Theatre, Room B120, Glyn Davis Building (133), Masson Road, The University of Melbourne
RSVP: to Adam Mornement via email by Friday 14 June. Those wishing to pose a question (or questions) should include the question in the RSVP. You will be advised in advance if your question has been selected, and you will be invited to pose it at the event.

The next Burra Charter ‘Q & A’ will be held at the University of Sydney on Saturday 13 July (11:30am to 1:00pm) – further details will follow soon.

Australia ICOMOS Sydney Talk Series, 18 June

Heritage, Construction and Fire
presented by Catherine Forbes

Globally, over the years, many iconic heritage sites have experienced severe damage or loss as a result of fire. Cases have included Windsor Castle (1992), Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), Lucerne (1993), Sungyemun (South gate) Seoul, South Korea (2008), the Cutty Sark (2014), the Glasgow School of Art (2015 and 2018), the National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro (2018) and many more. Most recently Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was in the limelight as we watched images of its roof burning and spire collapsing (May, 2019). During the same period, significant sites and collections in Australia have also been impacted by fire, including Essendon Historical Society Museum, Melbourne (2016), the historic Byron Arcade, Inverell (2010), numerous historic Australian pubs, including the General Gordon Hotel in Sydneham (2018), the Lyceum Hotel, Longreach (2018) and the Broadway Hotel in Woolloongabba, Brisbane (2018), a number of places of worship, including Melbourne’s oldest Greek Orthodox Church (2016), the Geelong Mosque (2016), and St Paul’s Catholic Church, Glenreagh, in the Clarence Valley (2018), and a number of schools, including the 1923 Parramatta Public School building in Sydney (2018).

Although some of these fires were the result of arson and others accidental, it must be noted that many of the buildings affected were undergoing some form of construction work. Catherine Forbes will discuss recent research findings on common causes of fire on heritage construction sites and what is involved in preventing, preparing for and mitigating fire risk prior to and during construction. With specific reference to the Parramatta Public School fire, she will also highlight the issues arising during the emergency response to fire in heritage buildings and the new risks that emerge and must be dealt with in the aftermath of fire.

Catherine Forbes
Catherine is an expert member of ICORP (ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Risk Preparedness) and Convenor of the Australia ICOMOS and ICOMOS New Zealand joint working group on Cultural Heritage Risk Preparedness. Catherine is also the heritage architect assisting Schools Infrastructure NSW on recovery of the Parramatta Public School.

Time & Date: Tuesday 18 June 2019, 5.30pm for 6pm start

Cost: Students $10, Members $15, Non-members $20 payable in cash at GML Heritage

Venue: GML Heritage Level 6, Australia Council Building, 372 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills, 2010 (corner of Cooper Street – south from Central Station North Concourse exit to Elizabeth Street). Please report to the reception desk on the Australia Council Ground Floor on arrival to be ticked off on the list and to obtain a Visitors Pass

Harrietville Chinese Mining Village archaeological excavation, October 2019 – bookings open

The Uncovered Past Institute is excited to announce that the second archaeological excavation of the 19th century Harrietville Chinese Mining Village, planned for October 2019, is now open for bookings. Members of the public as well as archaeology students can help fund the project by participating in this excavation.

Highlights of the first excavation in October 2017 can be seen in this video.

Our 2017 team of 10 staff and 36 participants discovered the foundations of at least 19 buildings, and partially excavated two of these. During Season 2 we aim to complete the excavation of these two buildings, and also excavate the communal kitchen where all the meals for the Chinese miners were cooked. The largely undisturbed Village site includes mine workings, water races, building foundations, and gardens: a rare survivor of the heyday of Chinese gold mining in Victoria.

See the Uncovered Past Institute website for participation fees and the program.

Autumn in New York: Deco Weekend, 10-13 October 2019

The Art Deco Society of New York (ADSNY) invites you to our vibrant, exhilarating, gleaming Art Deco capital to enjoy an immersive extended weekend to explore and celebrate some of the world’s most recognizable examples of Art Deco architecture and design. In addition to the city’s interwar treasures and mementos of Jazz Age culture, we will dine in iconic hotspots that embody our favorite era.

Through a series of engrossing programs – led by acclaimed architectural, design, and culture historians – we’ll delve deep into 1920s and 1930s New York: home to the flapper, the speakeasy, and the belief that anything goes. This program focuses on the development of New York’s unmatched skyscrapers, which transformed the city into a modern, glittering metropolis.

At the AICCM National Conference 2019, we invite you to consider how we make our profession. Broadly divided into three themes – making conservation sustainable, innovative and connected – we want to know what excites you, what challenges you, and what you want to discuss further.

What treatments are inspiring you, what new project have you developed, what plans do you have for the future? Where should conservation be heading, both locally and globally, and how are we going to get there? How are we making conservation now and how can the way we make conservation shape the future?

Join us at the Pavilion at the Arts Centre, Melbourne, 13–15 November 2019 and continue the conversation. The three day conference will include two and a half days of presentations, an afternoon of tours, a panel discussion on conservation education, welcome drinks and an evening soiree.

Each day of the conference will centre around one of the three themes:

Making Conservation Connected

• How are we/should we make conservation inclusive, collaborative, visible, accessible and connected across communities?

Making Conservation Sustainable

• How can the profession grow and develop?
• What do we need from conservation education and what are the challenges or opportunities we are working with?
• How can conservation respond to climate change and how will this affect our work?

Making Conservation Innovation

• What treatments, projects, developments or ideas are exciting and inspiring you, or challenging you to do things differently?
• How can conservation shape the future?

The organising committee welcomes abstracts of 250 words on these three distinct but connected topics. Suggested formats include:

• Papers (20 mins)
• Lightning talks (5 mins)
• Panel discussions (45 mins – 1 hr)
• Other facilitated discussion, debate, critique, networking or interactive sessions
• Posters
• Short video presentations
• Tours (to be facilitated through the tour afternoon)

If we have not listed your preferred session format here, contact us to discuss your idea. Abstracts/queries can be emailed to Albertine Hamilton.

ICADS 15th World Congress on Art Deco, Buenos Aires, 5-15 November 2019 – call for papers: closes 1 July

Congress Theme

The Congress theme is Art Deco Melting Pots in relation with the Congress program that will show on site the Art Deco Rioplatense, a trend that borrowed ideas, images, and materials from different parts of the world to shape modern eclectic design, architecture and town planning.

The Art Deco era embodied the climax of eclecticism in a context of fast communications, combination of tradition and innovation, integration between industrialization and craftsmanship, intersection of arts and design, intellectual and artistic desacralization of images and secular traditions in composition and ornamentation.

The three sessions of lectures will present Art Deco Rioplatense in all its manifestations: architecture and decoration, art and design, urbanism and landscaping by local scholars. The program will include other presentations concentrated on the transfers, assimilations, and mixes in the emergence of characteristic regional art deco trends.

For more information about the event and the call for papers, visit the congress website and see the call for papers document.

The call for papers closes 1 July 2019.
