Abstract Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage A conservation intervention is often required to preserve works of art and buildings in the best possible condition. Conservation treatments, however, even if done with the best of intentions, entail some risks.  Conservators work very closely with the materials making up works of art or buildings. They remove some materials from them – like dirt – or add new materials, which are usually meant to last for a long time. Wrong choices or decisions may lead to  permanent damage to the works of art either in the short and/or in the long-term. For this reason conservation treatments follow specific “guiding principles” – meant to minimise the risk of making mistakes – and are carried out by professionals.  Let’s see some of  these principles... Prof. JoAnn Cassar and Roberta De Angelis – University of Malta
How should it be done?  Prof. JoAnn Cassar and Roberta De Angelis – University of Malta Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Works of art that conservators treat are  irreplaceable. The task that conservators undertake is challenging: saving works of art through delicate treatments which must be carried out carefully to ensure that no permanent damage is done during the intervention and in the long-term.
How should it be done?  Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Treatments can involve  taking materials away  (dirt, old repairs, etc.) and/or  adding materials  (e.g. chemicals, water, cleaning agents, adhesives, etc.). © Photo courtesy of Din L-Art Ħelwa  © Photo courtesy of Din L-Art Ħelwa I am performing tests to remove dirt from a statue  through the application of chemicals I am injecting (adding) a material to stabilize  a wall painting
Let’s see some examples… Prof. JoAnn Cassar and Roberta De Angelis – University of Malta Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Both  adding   materials   and   taking materials away   can imply risks to the object/monument if treatments are not carefully planned and carried out  (especially in the long-term!).
Mistakes done in the past and sometimes even today…     Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   The application of  cement  to weak historic structures  causes in the long-term the deterioration of the original masonry materials  (bricks in this case). The application of  iron clamps  to strengthen walls causes in the long-term  the deterioration of the masonry since  iron oxidizes, expands and breaks the surrounding stone. Use of cement Use of metal clamps/dowels
water repellent surface  (the water-repellent material penetrates inside the stone for a few mm). Water dissolves and transports salts, carries pollutants, and is essential for the growth of micro-organisms and vegetation... So keeping water away through the application of a protective coating (water repellent) seems to be a good idea...  Unless salts are a problem...   Water   +   (dissolved) salts salts tend to crystallise just behind the water-repellent surface causing the detachment of the outer stone surface. Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Mistakes done in the past and sometimes even today…     surface coated with a protective (water repellent) coating  drops of water water evaporates but salts remain behind
Cleaning Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Both  taking materials away   and   adding materials   can imply risks to the object/monument if treatments are not carefully planned and carried out  (especially in the long term!). Cleaning can take some of the original material away if done with inappropriate tools or cleaning agents.  This wall was cleaned using an aggressive  inappropriate   method... Which has taken away the dirt but also the original stone surface (look at how rough the surface is!). original surface before cleaning  original surface after cleaning  ©  Photos by Chanelle Muscat  (1997) Cleaning trial © DECO http://www.inkspinster.com/ink.htm
Adding conservation materials  can actually cause problems in the future if the material reacts chemically with the object being treated, if it changes its properties, or it ages badly and induces further damage to the object being treated. Consolidation stone  before  consolidation  stone  after  consolidation  A bad consolidant may bring along serious problems in the short but also in the long term as a result of its ageing! For example it might alter the colour of the original material. © Photos and experiment by Janice Borg (2011)
A word on authenticity... ,[object Object],Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   It seems obvious..... But sometimes additions or alterations might be less easy to see....  Conservators should always do as little as possible but as much as needed.
What properties must conservation materials have? Any material added must be  stable  and  compatible   with the original material and  reversible . Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   What does this mean?  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],It should deteriorate instead of the original material
Let’s see some of these properties… ,[object Object],[object Object],Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   AAAARGHH!!! © DECO http://www.inkspinster.com/ink.htm
[object Object],Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Reversibility Cement is too hard and it sticks to the stone too strongly. If one tries to remove it, pieces of the original stone are likely to come off in the process. cement STONE
[object Object],Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Compatibility ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],As a general rule, conservation materials should have properties similar to those of the original materials and should deteriorate more easily, instead of them.
[object Object],Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage   Stability For example if a product tends to become yellow with time or attracts dust.... it cannot be used in conservation!!!

  • 3. Abstract Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage A conservation intervention is often required to preserve works of art and buildings in the best possible condition. Conservation treatments, however, even if done with the best of intentions, entail some risks. Conservators work very closely with the materials making up works of art or buildings. They remove some materials from them – like dirt – or add new materials, which are usually meant to last for a long time. Wrong choices or decisions may lead to permanent damage to the works of art either in the short and/or in the long-term. For this reason conservation treatments follow specific “guiding principles” – meant to minimise the risk of making mistakes – and are carried out by professionals. Let’s see some of these principles... Prof. JoAnn Cassar and Roberta De Angelis – University of Malta
  • 4. How should it be done? Prof. JoAnn Cassar and Roberta De Angelis – University of Malta Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Works of art that conservators treat are irreplaceable. The task that conservators undertake is challenging: saving works of art through delicate treatments which must be carried out carefully to ensure that no permanent damage is done during the intervention and in the long-term.
  • 5. How should it be done? Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Treatments can involve taking materials away (dirt, old repairs, etc.) and/or adding materials (e.g. chemicals, water, cleaning agents, adhesives, etc.). © Photo courtesy of Din L-Art Ħelwa © Photo courtesy of Din L-Art Ħelwa I am performing tests to remove dirt from a statue through the application of chemicals I am injecting (adding) a material to stabilize a wall painting
  • 6. Let’s see some examples… Prof. JoAnn Cassar and Roberta De Angelis – University of Malta Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Both adding materials and taking materials away can imply risks to the object/monument if treatments are not carefully planned and carried out (especially in the long-term!).
  • 7. Mistakes done in the past and sometimes even today…  Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The application of cement to weak historic structures causes in the long-term the deterioration of the original masonry materials (bricks in this case). The application of iron clamps to strengthen walls causes in the long-term the deterioration of the masonry since iron oxidizes, expands and breaks the surrounding stone. Use of cement Use of metal clamps/dowels
  • 8. water repellent surface (the water-repellent material penetrates inside the stone for a few mm). Water dissolves and transports salts, carries pollutants, and is essential for the growth of micro-organisms and vegetation... So keeping water away through the application of a protective coating (water repellent) seems to be a good idea... Unless salts are a problem...  Water + (dissolved) salts salts tend to crystallise just behind the water-repellent surface causing the detachment of the outer stone surface. Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Mistakes done in the past and sometimes even today…  surface coated with a protective (water repellent) coating drops of water water evaporates but salts remain behind
  • 9. Cleaning Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Both taking materials away and adding materials can imply risks to the object/monument if treatments are not carefully planned and carried out (especially in the long term!). Cleaning can take some of the original material away if done with inappropriate tools or cleaning agents. This wall was cleaned using an aggressive inappropriate method... Which has taken away the dirt but also the original stone surface (look at how rough the surface is!). original surface before cleaning original surface after cleaning © Photos by Chanelle Muscat (1997) Cleaning trial © DECO http://www.inkspinster.com/ink.htm
  • 10. Adding conservation materials can actually cause problems in the future if the material reacts chemically with the object being treated, if it changes its properties, or it ages badly and induces further damage to the object being treated. Consolidation stone before consolidation stone after consolidation A bad consolidant may bring along serious problems in the short but also in the long term as a result of its ageing! For example it might alter the colour of the original material. © Photos and experiment by Janice Borg (2011)

Notas do Editor

  1. Not sure this is very clear... Hope Janice will bring the photos of her samples....
  2. You could ask them to explain stability, compatibility and reversibility. If in difficulty there are the definitions below. Examples: Glue used to reattach the broken pieces of a statue may release with time acidic components which harm the statue, or it may yellow, or attract dust, etc. Cement used for pointing or repairing a porous and soft stone induces deterioration on the porous stone (it does not allow passage of water, it releases salts, etc.)
