New materials and forms of presentation
are constantly being introduced into the area of contemporary photography.
They are a sign of the creativity of the artists, but also of the persistently
developing technical possibilities. Some finishing processes, for example
the mounting of photographs to acrylic and aluminum-polyethylene-composites,
or, usually associated with this, laminating, have by now become internationally
established. The questions of preservation and treatment of these works,
however, have still not been answered to our satisfaction. Therefore, it
is first necessary to acquire a detailed understanding of the used materials
and manufacturing processes, in order to then develop methods of their conservation.
In this sense, the course cannot offer perfected treatment solutions, but
instead, it will try to convey a consciousness for the manifold conservation
problems associated with contemporary photography. The topics are first
discussed theoretically, then practical restoration exercises on examples
will follow. Participants—they have to bring along their own tools—should
be conservators or other specialists with equivalent knowledge.
