Specialization: Conservation-restoration of paintings and polychrome sculpture
Abstract
Digital works of art can mostly be characterized as allographic, they might exist in a virtual space in many copies and are more easily accessible to the recipient by collecting them in virtual museums and databases. At first glance, they seem to be easier to preserve for future generations - they lack material bodies that would be exposed to standard factors that damage the autographic body of the work, such as incorrect maintenance, mechanical damage, unfavorable environmental factors etc. However, this impression is misleading, because the danger that affects digital works of art is technological acceleration causing rapid obsolescence of media, incompatibility of hardware, software and peripheral devices. So how should one preserve a digital work of art? Different strategies and case studies are being discussed, including storage, migration, emulation, reinterpretation and documentation.
In order to better understand the challenges of digital art preservation, virtual reality artists Przemysław Danowski and Jakub Wróblewski were interviewed. Strategy accompanying the acquisition of VR experience was established in a form of an interview. It documented artists' technique and creative process of making the artworks Bardo and Lovestory; importance of the VR medium, relation between artists intention and VR technology, their attitude to future conservation treatments and aquisition of the artworks.
The painting conservator, a participant during the artistic process

Specialization: Art history, History of Painting Conservation
Abstract
Preventive Conservation, Curative Conservation and Restoration are established fields of actions for a painting conservator. Active Conservation designates a fourth field where the conservator works on recent productions and intervenes alongside the artistic process (before, during or within a few years of completion of an artwork).
The concurrency of creation and conservation requires collaboration between conservators and Art World figures. While the conservator’s interventions are often requested directly by the artist, they can also be done at the demand of other figures of the Art market (art dealer, art suppliers, etc.). Beside engaging restorers for their private collection, artists can be found collaborating with painting conservators on their personal production. Restoration and invoice records mentioning conservation techniques on artworks in the making witness this Active Conservation work. In this context, the creation of a painting is a collective activity in which the painting conservator acts as an active participant to the creation – as a consultant or as a technician – sometimes essential to the mise-en-oeuvre (implementation) and the stability of a painting.

Specialization: Theoretical, physical and analytical chemistry
Abstract
The project aims at researching the short-term and long-term drying reactions of historical and industrial paints, mainly relying on the use of metallic driers. A deeper understanding of the (mis-) use of driers through history up to date, as well as their effect on stability and aesthetic of painted objects will be offered. Interactions of inorganic and organic in historical and industrial paintings and coatings are being monitored by the use of synchrotron based and laboratory micro-imaging techniques (μXRF, μXAS, μXRD and μFTIR) available at the ESRF as a host facility. Observations of the formation, spatial distribution in 2D (in depth and in plane) and stability of metallic driers and of secondary crystallized compounds in historical and in model paints will offer to Rijksmuseum as a partner and to the global community of conservators, a valuable insight into the conservation issues of painted works of art. Similarly, AkzoNobel as an industrial collaborator, will be guided towards the development of products with a better health and safety profile and improved performance.

Making a copy of a painting from a museum is a difficult task, but creating a reproduction of a masterpiece that no longer exists is an entirely different issue. The author uses her first-hand experience taking "Flora" by Francesco Melzi from the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in Saint-Petersburg to demonstrate a traditional method of making a copy from the original. For the modern approach, the stolen Oratory of San Lorenzo in Palermo and then disappeared Caravaggio's "Nativity with Saint Lawrence and Saint Francis of Assisi" is taken as an example. It is a re-creation made by Factum Foundation, whose purpose is to construct a bridge between new digital technology and craft skills.

Specialization: Paintings (5th year of study)
Abstract
Many objects of cultural heritage are exposed to radiation to stamp out the unwanted microorganisms that are present on them. Although it was initially considered that the radiation of painted objects was completely harmless and without any adverse effects on the object itself, later changes in the colour of pigments were noticed, some of them being bedimmed, some illuminated, etc. This paper deals with a specific area of the influence of gamma radiation on binders in paint layers, as only few articles have been published on this subject so far.
Seven different binders used throughout the history of painting were chosen and prepared. The binders were applied on polyethylene substrates (radiation-resistant) and radiated with five different doses; first in the centre and then away from the centre. After irradiation, colour changes of each of the binders were measured using a CIE Lab colorimeter.

Specialization: Easel paintings (3rd year of study)
Abstract
The baroque painting of Mother Dolorosa by Marko Layer has undergone two conservation-restoration procedures. With scientific analysis, overpaint was found, hiding a sword and different coloured drapery. The original and overpainted paint layers were of the same chemical composition – egg tempera. Different approaches of removing the overpaint were tested in past treatments of the painting. Effective methods would do more harm than good to the original paint layer. We made a compromise and used the mechanical cleaning method. The end result had a lot of imperfections in the paint layer due to the poor condition of the painting in the first place, and due to the removing procedure of overpaint itself. Before the reintegration process, a graphical image of the retouching and its options was made. The reintegration process consisted of different methods chosen according to the type of damage. The conservation-restoration procedure was finished in such a way that conservators-restorers can continue research on the painting.

This article aims to underline the importance of using an interdisciplinary approach while researching the historical background of the object before conservation-restoration, and how these discoveries can influence the decision-making process and the significance of the artwork overall. The significance of this approach is explained through the case of a late gothic reliquary bust belonging to the collection of the National Gallery of Slovenia. The artwork underwent a long process of research and conservation-restoration, during which plenty of data was collected about its past history, its material composition and its technology; of remarkable value was the discovery of a particular decorative technique known as applied brocade, which had never before been studied in Slovenia. The combination of archival data, physical observation and data collected from scientific analyses helped to uncover a surprisingly rich and interesting history which had an impact on the decision-making process, especially on the aesthetic presentation and graphic reconstruction of the area decorated with applied brocade, and gave new meaning and value to the artwork.

Abstract
Display in museums can be quite challenging, especially when it comes to three-dimensional textile objects. Display of costumes can be problematic because the mannequins must fit perfectly so they don´t cause new damage to the objects. We can achieve that by carefully adjusting them. That was done with three mannequins for three ethnographic costumes from the Ethnographic Museum of Dubrovnik Museums. All three mannequins were successfully adjusted on an educational workshop that took place on the University of Dubrovnik. The workshop was organized in collaboration with Croatian Conservation Institute and Ethnographic Museum of Dubrovnik Museums in October 2018.

Abstract
The main subject of the presentation is the conservation of bronze structural decorated elements from ancient Roman chariot from the collection of the National Museum in Belgrade which has total of 86 bronze appliques of various sizes and shapes. The presentation will only show the most representative appliques. The work was performed as part of the master thesis in 2017/2018. No conservation treatments have been carried out so far on the appliques, which makes this work characteristic because the treatment could be carried out by non-destructive conservation methods. Appliques contain missing parts, fragmentation, surface deposits in the form of impurities, soil deposits, various forms of corrosion and chloride deposits. Bronzed appliques were subjected to macroscopic and microscopic analyses as well as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy - XRF; which established the composition of the copper alloys, from which they were made as well as the recording of objects under the X-ray radiation. The photo documentation was done together with detailed descriptions in which objects were found.

Study programme: Conservation and Restoration
Specialization: Archaeological Objects (3rd year of study)
Abstract
During the course of a 2012 excavation in Strettweg, Styria, pottery shards with tin foil decoration were discovered. The shards belonged to a ceramic vessel and can be dated to around 700 B.C - the early Iron Age or Hallstatt Era. The ornamental decor with tin foil is especially rare and can be found only on a handful of other objects. The aim of the conservation was to bring the object into a state in which it can be exhibited. At the Institute of Conservation, the shards were examined technologically, cleaned and the degraded tin foil were consolidated. The emphasis of the presentation is put on the on-going practical work of joining shards and gap-filling. Due to the size of the object as well as the problematically large gaps in the vessel, one focus of the practical work was the selection of an appropriate bonding method. This concerns not only the adhesive but also the technique of holding large shard-fragments in the optimal position. Filling of the large gaps will complete the conservation process. In future exhibitions, the vessel will represent the other tin foil ceramics from that particular excavation.

Abstract
In 19th century, the wall paintings in the Church of Virgin Mary in Studenica were painted over. As they did not satisfy the artistic and aesthetic qualities and did not coincide with the interior of the church, these new wall paintings were removed in 1951 by the experts from the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage from Belgrade. Many of these wall paintings were fragmented and instilled in plaster. The team of students from the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade performed complete conservation, restoration and presentation of one of these fragments. Transposition of this fragment consisted of many complex procedures, tests and analysis. The process included the removal of inadequate plaster support, conservation and restoration on newly revealed parts, finding a compatible adhesive, new support and frame. By researching previous similar works and their experience with new materials and supports, lime mortar was chosen as an adhesive while extruded polystyrene was used as a support. Using reliable and tested materials at all stages of the process, wall painting was provided stability, so the possibility of damage due to many external factors was reduced. After the fragment was completely preserved and restored it was returned to the Studenica Monastery.

Abstract
The paper presents a part of the author’s dissertation entitled "The Conservation of wall paintings made on earthen support, by the eastern tradition, or by technique a secco", which focuses on different approaches and practices used in wall painting restoration. The wall paintings which are presented here were executed on a non-lime based support, with paintings done mainly a secco. In the restoration of wall paintings on earthen support there are some damages which are fairly similar to the ones found on frescos, as well as the completely different ones, both of which are discussed here. The main reasons of degradation are the monument's location itself, which implies extreme climates and natural disasters (earthquakes, fires and floods). Further damages are due to natural degradation process and sensitivity of the original materials. Other degradations are caused by lack of maintenance and human actions such as the use for ritual purposes, the use of butter lamps, regular touching etc., and tourism. The paper presents two case studies of wall paintings in Ladakh, north India (supported by Tibet Heritage Fund), including the restoration treatments (which consisted in the consolidation of the paint layer, grouting, cleaning and infilling) ethic dilemmas, the applied methods and the used materials.

Abstract
Archaeological excavations carried out in 2012 and 2013, at the site of the Antique city of Issa on the island of Vis, revealed a large number of fragments of Roman wall paintings, dating back to the first century AD. Following the collapse of an ancient construction, the fragments remained buried for almost 2000 years. After systematic research into the original scheme and the appropriate conservation treatment, the fragments could become one of the most important examples of Classical wall paintings in the area.
