Conservation treatment: who decides?
Een discussieavond (in het Engels) met Barbara Appelbaum (auteur van het boek Conservation Treatement Methodology, 2007) en een aantal Nederlandse toppers over besluitvorming rondom conservering. Wat wordt er beslist, op grond van welke argumenten en wie neemt uiteindelijk de beslissing? Wat is de rol van verschillende belanghebbenden, welke waarden en betekenissen betrekken zij in hun overwegingen en welke invloed hebben zij? De sprekers lichten aan de hand van case studies uit hun eigen praktijk hun standpunten toe gevolgd door discussie met elkaar en met de zaal.
In her book Conservation Treatment Methodology (2007) Barbara Appelbaum presents a general methodology that guides conservators through the decision-making process for conservation treatment of any object. The methodology looks at the composition, condition and aging behaviour of the object and combines that with its biography, its function and the values different stakeholders attribute to it. The methodology addresses the two major goals of conservation treatment: preservation and interpretation. It is all about enhancing values, meanings and use of the object for stakeholders now and in the future.
The discussion will focus around the question ‘Who decides what, and based on which arguments?’. After speakers from the panel, representing different perspectives, have introduced their opinion by a short presentation of a case study from their own experience, the audience is invited to introduce their own case studies and participate in a lively discussion.
