to introduce the theory of conservation in the Western world, including the history of conservation, its context, theories and corresponding conservation charters and guidelines, and how it is practiced in different contexts. (e.g., museums and archaeological sites)
Session 1： Conservation Contexts Date:6.27
Introduction to some of the contexts in which conservators work and the various roles they may play.
Session 2：The conservation process Date:6.27
The conservation process is a continuous, non- linear, recursive and cross- disciplinary decision-making process that includes tangible and intangible features. The steps involved usually start with an understanding of the material fabric of objects and the changes it has experienced, but they vary in different contexts. The variables and their implications will be discussed in the session and illustrated with various case studies from Europe and the Americas.
Session 3：Significance
Conservators today find strategies to conserve material fabric while ensuring that the process and the resulting conserved material respect the object’s history and its layers of significance in the past, present and possible future. This session will introduce methods to assess the significance of the conservation object.
Session 4： Conservation concepts and definitions
The field of conservation is fundamentally rooted in an awareness of the mechanisms of transience, with considerable effort dedicated to enhancing the longevity of collections. This session discusses how inflexible perceptions of condition, expectations of longevity and neutrality are challenged in contemporary conservation theory.
Session 5：The recent history of conservation in the western world
The history of western conservation started to be more clearly defined in the 19th century. This session will review Viollet-le-Duc and Ruskin’s works and analyse their impacts in the 20th century. We will also see the rapid changes provoked by the First and Second World Wars, when the discipline started to flourish.
Session 6：Conservation charters and guidelines
This session examines some of the influential conservation charters and guidelines established from 1930s on, with a focus on ICOMOS and UNESCO.
Session 7-8：Museums in the contemporary context
Museums have gone through deep changes in the last 30 years. Ultimately, this means museum professionals today have to consider and respond to wider factors than those directly linked to their institutions and laboratories. This session focuses on some of the implications of a more socially, politically and economically aware approach, and discusses how to conduct consultation sessions with different interest groups.
Session 9-10：Conservation of contemporary art
【Description of the Session】(purpose, requirements, class and presentations scheduling, etc.)
The conservation of contemporary art may pose complex challenges to conservation decision-making as the field is immensely broad and permeated by tangible and intangible productions that may include traditional artistic expressions but also installations, performances and time-based media. This session will discuss some of the factors involved in the decision-making processes by focusing on case studies by Anselm Kiefer, Damien Hirst, Naum Gabo and others.
Session 11-12： Conservation of indigenous/world collections
Indigenous or world collections are often charged with the impacts of colonial history. Moreover, they are also often embedded in complex networks of meanings and values that may pose dilemmas such as the different ways of understanding material change and even the possible use of replicas.
Case studies: The Khipu of San Cristobal de Rapaz, Peru.
Knowledge Exchange with the Tikuna People of the Amazon, Brazil.
Session 13-14：Archaeological conservation
Working in archaeological projects demand many different skills from conservators. In order to ensure that specimens are excavated safely and conserved appropriately, conservators need to be able to engage with all experts, understand their disciplines and what they want to unveil from the archaeological record. They may also have to train colleagues in a range of activities. We will explore these and other points by discussing the following case studies.
Archaeological conservation in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania.
Archaeological conservation in WW1 Wester Front trenches, Europe.
Session 15-16：The role of conservators in preventing and responding to the illicit trade in antiquities and damage caused by armed conflict
Looting, the illicit trade of antiquities and armed conflicts have severe impacts on archaeological sites and collections. This session will examine some of the legislation available to protect them, the impacts of the illicit trade and armed conflicts, and how conservators can help prevent them. Various case studies.
