Goodall, Danielle Measday","doi":"10.1080/10344233.2020.1870301","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10344233.2020.1870301","url":null,"abstract":"Mercury is present in the Museums Victoria collections in a variety of forms. These include mercuric chloride applied as a pesticide, pigments and paints containing mercury sulfide, scientific equipment containing liquid mercury and geoscience specimens including native mercury and cinnabar. All these materials can release mercury vapour into storage cabinets and have the potential to contaminate both storage surfaces and other nearby specimens. Extensive testing identified higher than acceptable levels of mercury vapour inside storage cabinets. Air from cabinets was sampled across all collecting disciplines including First Peoples, Society and Technology and Natural Sciences. Results showed levels of mercury vapour above 25 μg/m3 (TWA) in cabinets of bird skins and First Peoples’ artefacts treated with mercuric chloride pesticides and above 150 μg/m3 (TEEL) in the mineralogy collection. Mercury contamination was also detected on cabinet surfaces and storage boxes. Mitigation strategies implemented to reduce or handle this hazard include enclosing mercury minerals in gas barrier film, replacing contaminated cabinets with vented cabinets and engineering controls during the handling of specimens. Improved staff practices include procedures to dissipate vapour before accessing cabinets. Follow up testing confirmed a significant reduction of mercury vapour levels after the implementation of these mitigation strategies.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"41 1","pages":"140 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2020.1870301","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47481437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tse","doi":"10.1080/10344233.2021.1892978","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10344233.2021.1892978","url":null,"abstract":"Papers in this volume focus on geographic locations drawn from Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, and the Eastern borders of Australia. In these parts of the world, we all know that there is a long record of active use and conservation of material culture through traditional systems, while the professionalised practice of conservation engendered by its existence, has a relatively recent history. In Australia the professionalisation of conservation was activated by the Piggott report in  to then establish formal university training and the graduation of professional conservators (Sloggett ). Two papers in this volume represent such professional modes of conservation and focus on the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) and Margel Hinder’s (–)sculptures; and Museum Victoria and hazard mitigation procedures for mercury identified in their Geology, Bird and Mammal skins, the First Peoples collection, and the Society and Technology collections. While in a Southeast Asian context, professional conservation practice has followed varied pathways to arrive at preservation methodologies appropriate to the object’s value and materiality, the diverse tropical climates and related degradation mechanisms, and the in-country resources, knowledge systems and expertise (Tse ). The three papers that speak to these notions centre on Indonesia and the embracing of traditional knowledge systems by The Borobudur Conservation Office; on Singapore and an examination of the significant twentieth century artists Georgette Chen (–) and Cheong Soo Pieng (–); and on Taiwan with a study of the artist Chen Cheng-Po (–), also an important twentieth century artist in the Asia Pacific region. In all, these papers represent localised conservation practises that have evolved from their regional contexts. Saiful Bakhri’s paper titled ‘Promoting Traditional Knowledge in Conservation: The Role of The Borobudur Conservation Office’, examines how the world heritage listed site, Borobudur, has managed and preserved the site utilising traditional and professional modes of conservation. Under the Ministry of Education, BCO has long incorporated living cultures and ‘locally sourced materials for use in conservation practice through scientific research and development’ and as such, has produced industry-grade materials as part of its creative economy and sustainable future. Bakhri notes that the integration of traditional ecological knowledge with scientific notions of conservation, has been long term with ‘cross-cultural engagements and participatory processes’ across knowledge hierarchies, communities, disciplines and professional domains at its core. As such, Bakhri sees the efforts of BCO as a sustainable model for conservation and draws on the wider theoretical discussions on the topic, which he is well situated to do so as a young Indonesian professional conservator.

Research undertaken by the BCO relied on both social and natural scientific approaches. Traditional knowledge was acquired in consultation with traditional custodians and the properties of selected traditional materials were scientifically studied and adapted for use in a conservation context. These outcomes of collaborations with traditional custodians and the findings of scientific investigations have been embedded in the BCO's written and multimedia publications, as well as their training and research programs. It is argued that these efforts could promote sustainable conservation practices by providing alternative, biodegradable conservation materials. Furthermore, these efforts are viewed as a model for conservation best practice; in community that emphasises cross-cultural engagements.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"41 1","pages":"95 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2020.1867360","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46529587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The restoration project employed chemical analysis, X-ray imaging, ultraviolet and infrared light examination to develop a deeper understanding of the artist’s technique. The conservation project examined how the artist used the canvas, the history of the canvases themselves and how the artist’s family protected the paintings from the then dictatorship to avoid their destruction. At the same time, we have also discovered how the artist transported canvases between outdoor locations where he painted and his studio. The technical conservation research carried out has provided us with a better understanding of Chen Cheng-Po’s technique in creating his paintings.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"41 1","pages":"118 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2020.1868160","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45845655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exhibition gave AGNSW’s Objects and Paper Conservators unique insight into materials and techniques of this highly significant, often underestimated sculptor. To facilitate the authentic display of Hinder’s oeuvre in Modern in Motion, the authors adopted Irvin’s [Irvin S 2005, ‘‘The artist’s sanction in contemporary art’’, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, vol. 63, no. 4, pp. 315–326] concept of the artist’s sanction, undertaking: qualitative analysis of archival materials and artist’s interviews, visual and materials analysis of select maquettes and sculpture. The artist’s focus on the staging of her works to control relational and dematerialised elements—light, movement and space—encouraged the authors to consider the conservation contributions of curatorial and photography departments. The benefits of this case study are two-fold: one, it provides a holistic insight into the life and multifaceted practice of this underrepresented female artist; and two it reveals the importance of interdepartmental collaboration for the authentic presentation and thus conservation of an artist’s work.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"41 1","pages":"127 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2020.1868144","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42752520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
