Heritage Conservation Field Study – Experience the care of Italian heritage first-hand
Monday 7 October – Friday 25 October 2019

Bring your knowledge to the next level of experience in Italy. The objective of the field study is to learn about different ways of preserving, conserving and displaying heritage objects and monuments. You will study how professionals in the museum sector interact with works of historical importance. 

This is a unique opportunity:

* to learn about, and apply, professional conservation techniques
* to thoroughly examine works displayed or stored in a variety of locations
* to engage in a constructive debate on the challenges and issues related to preventive conservation and the preservation of historical objects and artefacts in museums, churches and other exclusive locations

The tour is aimed at providing conservators, registrars, collection managers, museum curators, architects and selected students with specialist training in preventive conservation, from theory through to practice. This experience will be of interest to a range of participants with different levels of expertise; from seasoned conservators and museum staff to students with little prior knowledge.

The primary location of the field school will be the Capodimonte Museum in Naples with site visits in Rome and Florence. Under the direction of Carolina Izzo and the guidance of selected Italian experts, supervised by museums’ head of conservation, participants will have a unique professional experience in the original home of conservation. 

For full information and an Itinerary, visit this link.

Places on the tour are limited and are granted at the discretion of the tour director. If you would like to apply for a place on this tour, please contact Carolina Izzo  by email.

You will then be emailed a questionnaire to complete to accompany your application. Once you have returned this to us we will contact you within 7 days to offer successful applicants a place on the tour. You will then need to pay the initial $1,000 deposit to secure your place.

Applications for the tour close on Friday 12 July.

4. [NEW ITEM] Free publication on Australia’s National Heritage

Valuing Australia’s National Heritage, by David Yencken

Valuing Australia’s National Heritage describes the progressive development of a national heritage consciousness from early settlement onwards. It shows the different ways this consciousness led to national heritage protection for natural areas, Indigenous places and historic sites. The book describes the origins and development of the Australian Heritage Commission and includes a personal memoir describing the author’s role in helping to establish the Commission and set it on its future course. Valuing Australia’s National Heritage laments the current neglect of national heritage, the apparent unwillingness to add places to the national lists, and the complete inadequacy of funding available. It concludes with suggestions for more enlightened policies. The book includes images of UNESCO World Heritage listed sites including of Lord Howe Island by Jack Shick.

This book is published by Future Leaders, a philanthropic initiative about leadership and our future, and a not for profit publishing initiative.

The National Endangered Skills and Trades Show, 13-14 July, Canberra

Rare trades but not as you know it. This event is incorporating both traditional trades and endangered skills from a range of industries (did someone say neon sign tube bending?) to demonstrate the need to reinstate apprenticeships for the future of our workforce. The ACT Government is currently looking at a pilot program to re-energise training in collaboration with artisans in business, and the lobbying being undertaken around this event is crucial. Held at The Fitters Workshop, next to Canberra’s biggest craft market, the demonstration event itself is expecting 15,000 through the doors over the weekend. Major cultural institutions such as the National Film and Sound Archives [who need trainees in analogue sound engineering] will be participating and supporting the advocacy.

Most excitingly, a partnered symposium with the National Museum of Australia will also be held on the Saturday evening with speakers discussing how heritage skills can be used to create bespoke solutions for modern issues and new industries. Lobbying begins and ends in Canberra, lets make this count!

Visit the Endangered Skills and Trades Show website for more information.

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.

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.

Making Conservation, AICCM conference, Melbourne, 13-15 November 2019 – call for papers: closes 1 July

Submissions close: 1 July 2019

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.
