They incorporate broad colour areas of highly pigmented paint with matt surfaces and multilayered paint films. The matt surfaces of the paintings are extremely fragile, accidental and non accidental contact had caused various minor damages that were significantly disturbing due to the flat and even surfaces of the paints. This paper describes the multidisciplinary research required to undertake appropriate and successful evaluation and treatment of ageing and damaged artworks painted with synthetic media. It takes an approach in which the results of instrumental analysis are assessed in conjunction with the artist's recollection recorded in interviews. The retouching of the damages on the paintings was undertaken with Aquazol 500®, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxaline) and pigments. The principal aim of the treatments was to find a balance between minimal retouching while reducing areas of surface disturbance.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"36 1","pages":"136 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2015.1126992","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59922768","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}

Building on earlier research, this paper presents a greater understanding of Chen's paintings through an in situ technical examination, materials analysis of four oil paintings in the collection of Balai Seni Visual Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and documentary source research. The four paintings, Still Life (Ikan Kering) (1940), Rambutan and Magosteens (1950), Mother and Child (Ibu dan Anak) (1960) and Mother (Ibu) (1960), were painted in three locations between 1940 and 1960, and are representative of three decades of Chen's oeuvre. Evidence suggests that Chen employed a fairly limited range of artist quality materials. Although Chen's practice coincided with limitations in trade and distribution of artists' colourmen materials, she showed a preference for the higher quality artists' paints and supports at a time when new proprietary products were being marketed and made available. Research therefore on the widespread availability of proprietary household paints in Malaysia may not be relevant to Chen, but is of larger relevance for artists painting in this period and the wider technological changes.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"36 1","pages":"147 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2015.1127581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59922775","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 policy, developed for the Cultural Ministers Council (Australia), was one of the very few national materials conservation policies in the world. The associated strategy led to the development of important frameworks and tools for significance assessment, conservation planning, training, disaster preparedness and environmental guidelines, and in identification of skills gaps and research needs. The political, economic and technological environment in which conservators operate has changed considerably since 1995, and, with the majority of conservators engaged by public institutions, many constituencies in Australia remain relatively untouched by the work of the profession. As a result there exist many new opportunities for conservators to engage with individuals and communities, but a national focus is required to most effectively garner resources, avoid duplication and take advantage of new technologies. This paper examines the case for a new iteration of a national policy for the conservation of Australia's cultural heritage material, and outlines the work needed to achieve this.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"36 1","pages":"79 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10344233.2015.1104777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59922492","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}

Distillery: Waveforming is an increment in Khut's long running and ongoing biofeedback project. Khut is interested in body-focused interactive art and design, and has described himself as a ‘practice based researcher’. He embeds his art practice within research frameworks and utilises objective methodologies to model and evaluate his practice. Distillery: Waveforming is an interactive, sensory artwork at the heart of which is the human experience. Distillery: Waveforming incorporates the use of an iPad software application (app) called BrightHearts that at the time of acquisition was in a developmental stage. Prior to acquisition it was necessary to resolve issues relating to the ongoing management of an artwork that was essentially a prototype. Distillery: Waveforming is an ensemble of parts incorporating tablet technology in the form of Apple iPads that were loaded with the prototype BrightHearts app, and external data collection, processing and relaying equipment. In order to safeguard the independent operation of the iPad devices and the prototype BrightHearts application, the Gallery undertook iOS device jailbreaking, essentially disengaging the iPads from their proprietary restrictions to allow for greater user control. With the assistance of the artist, QAGOMA has compiled a comprehensive digital archive and strategies for representing and reinterpreting Distillery: Waveforming in the future. The artwork has been recognised as an important legacy acquisition and as a consequence the artist and the Gallery's new media conservator have considered strategies that will allow the artwork to be displayed in alternate modes which achieve an aesthetic authenticity that meets the artist's intent.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"36 1","pages":"67 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0313538115Y.0000000005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65945623","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}

In the Aboriginal community of Wadeye (Port Keats) in the Northern Territory the Kanamkek-Yile Ngala Museum supports the preservation of local cultural material. Of particular importance are paintings produced for the altar of the Port Keats Church more than 40 years ago by senior Aboriginal men, and which formed an important aesthetic in the Old Church. Currently under the care of the Kanamkek-Yile Ngala Museum, these paintings remain more or less intact, despite some loss and damage. Their maintenance and conservation, however, presents a range of complex issues, highlighting difficulties encountered in the preservation of cultural material in remote and regional Australia, and suggesting the need for new ways of assessing significance.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"36 1","pages":"13 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/1034423315Z.0000000006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65483727","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}

Transportation displaced individuals thousands of miles from their family and friends, representing social death. For convicted criminals awaiting transportation, an everlasting connection to loved ones was represented in the form of small, circular copper tokens inscribed with messages of forget-me-not, gifts intended to remain as keep-sakes in Britain. Today these convict love tokens are of considerable social significance within Australia. In 2008, the National Museum of Australia acquired 307 tokens from British collector Timothy Millett—the largest collection known to exist. The tokens themselves were purportedly fashioned from modified 1797 King George III one- and two-penny pieces, but in most instances, any evidence of their former function had been removed prior to the addition of inscriptions. In an effort to reveal the source materials and techniques employed during their manufacture, 111 of the tokens were analysed with a Bruker Tracer III-V handheld portable X-ray fluorescence (p-XRF) and compared with known coins from the period. This paper presents explanations for the presence of several anomalous elements found in association with the convict love tokens. This demonstrated the usefulness of p-XRF technologies.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"36 1","pages":"44 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0313538115Y.0000000004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65945556","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 best storage environments were found to be upstairs in the south-facing rooms of the old convent building. The north-facing rooms can be modified, through removal of internal stud timber and Masonite walls, into a naturally lighted space in which the textile collection can be worked upon. Relocation of the collection is viewed as a strategic long-term move as the present storage is clean, but very cramped. Monitoring with sticky traps has shown that the present and proposed storage areas are relatively free of dust. When the existing textile store is vacated the Art Store should be moved to this location instead of the current location, as there is only one external wall instead of three which would cause unacceptably rapid changes in conditions.","PeriodicalId":7847,"journal":{"name":"AICCM Bulletin","volume":"12 1","pages":"33 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/0313538115Y.0000000003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65944961","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}
