Professional Meeting and Poster
Exhibition
On 15 May 2018, the
National Gallery of Slovenia is hosting the 18th Conservator-Restorers’ Professional
Meeting, where participants from Slovenia and the wider region will present
their work through posters, short videos and lectures. The event is organised
together with the Slovenian Museums Association and the Slovenian Restorers
Association. The lectures and presentations start at 10am and aim at expert
public.
Wider public will be able
to learn more about past and ongoing projects at the exhibition of posters that
will run 15–22 May 2018 and will be open every day except Monday, from 10am to
6pm, on Thursday until 8pm. Admission to this exhibition is free. You are
kindly invited!
The exhibition will
feature many projects, among them the work on The Fowler and Man with a Pretzel
by Fortunat Bergant and the work of Croatian colleagues on a large-scale (447 x
795 cm) painting The Meeting of Pope Leon the Great with Attila. Among archaeological challenges, the
interventions on iron material stand out, since the artefacts were originally
renovated by private collectors using methods completely at odds with museum
standards. Wall painting interventions include an interesting report on the
church in Vrzdenec and the challenges of presenting past interventions in
medieval wall paintings. Also incredibly difficult was the intervention on the
stuccowork by Czech sculptor Vaclav Mach on the façade of the arts and crafts
school on Aškerc Street in Ljubljana.
