Here is a call for papers for an upcoming conference in Sydney, Australia for those of you interested in frames and gilded wood: AICCM, FRAME: Concept, History and Conservation, Symposium 2 Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia April 3 - 5, 2019 The Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Material (AICCM), Gilded Objects Conservation Special Interest Group (GOCSIG) and Conservation Framing Special Interest Group are planning the international symposium on AICCM FRAME: Concept, History and Conservation, Symposium 2, which will be held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, April 3-5, 2019. The Frames Symposium 2019 intends to encompass broader concepts associated with conservation of picture frames and gilded surfaces, as well as the history of frames, development of their styles, design and technology, and conservation framing. We would like to invite papers on varied issues associated with gilded/ polychrome finishes on frames, their conservation problems, history, technology, and research. We expect to attract a broad international audience of conservators, conservation students, curators and historians, students of the curatorial management courses, artists, designers and frame makers. We are pleased to announce that two keynote speakers and international experts on frames, George Bisacca, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and Timothy Newberry, London, UK, have already confirmed their attendance. They will be accompanied by the renowned Australian experts in the field. The organising committee now welcomes abstracts of 250 words for papers and lightning talks. Paper presentations should be tailored to 20 minutes in length. Presenters are encouraged to submit papers for publication in the AICCM Bulletin. Lightning talks should be tailored to approximately 5 minutes in length with an abstract for publishing in the symposium notes. Please include: presentation title and author details (full name and institutional affiliation) plus a brief author biography up to 50 words. Applicants will be notified of the Committee decision by Friday 2 November 2018. Please note, unfortunately the registration fee for presenters (apart from keynote speakers) is not covered by the symposium budget and funding for this will need to be arranged by the presenter. Further information for registration, social events, accommodation and transportation is forthcoming and will be published at the AICCM website https://aiccm.org.au/ To submit your abstract, send it to Barbara Dabrowa, Senior Conservator-Frames AGNSW on [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> by close of business on Friday 28 September 2018.
