5-6 October 2007 Museum Palace at Wilanow ART OF CONSERVATION-RESTORATION IN POLAND
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth International conference and exhibition
CESARE BRANDI (1906-1988), HIS THOUGHT AND THE HERITAGE DEBATE.
ART OF CONSERVATION-RESTORATION IN POLAND

Organized by:
Inter-Academy Institute of Conservation-Restoration of Works of Art
Ministero per i Beni e le Attivita Culturali - Italy ICR (Istituto Centrale
per il Restauro) Associazione Amici di Cesare Brandi Associazione Giovanni
Secco Suardo Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw

In cooperation with:
Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art Academy of Fine Arts
in Warsaw Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art Academy of
Fine Arts in Krakow Institute for the Study, Conservation and Restoration of
Cultural Heritage Nicolas Copernicus University in Torun

The conference is dedicated to the contemporary view of
conservation-restoration of works of art in Poland in relation to Cesare
Brandi's thought. It combines the Polish part with the international project
Culture 2000 (Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal,
Spain), within the EU project Cesare Brandi (1906-1988), His Thought and
European Debate in the XX century on the occasion of the 100th anniversary
of Brandi's birth.
Thoughts and ideas of Cesare Brandi emerged from the highest tradition of
European philosophy, from Plato, Kant, and Hegel to Husserl, Bergson,
Arnheim, and Gadamer, constituted the background for the theory and practice
of the conservation-restoration in the 20th and 21st centuries. He was the
founder (in 1939) and director of the Central Institute for Restoration in
Rome for 20 years.
The creation of Theory of Restoration (1963) is perceived as a milestone in
approaching matters of conservation-restoration of works of art. The theory
lays an intellectual foundation and provides philosophical and ethical basis
for treatments which used to be viewed as empirical activity of purely
occupational nature.

The Conference and the Exhibition, sponsored by the Inter-Academy Institute
of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art and European Union, is the
first one in the series of conferences organized to celebrate the 60th
anniversary of three Polish academies (Faculty of Conservation and
Restoration of Works of Art of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Faculty
of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art of the Academy of Fine Arts
in Krakow, and the Institute for the Study, Conservation and Restoration of
Cultural Heritage of the Nicolas Copernicus University in Torun).
They have had a great influence on the development of the art of
conservation-restoration in Poland and abroad. The conference and the
exhibition are to serve as a research and study platform  for the
international debate on the scope of modern conservation theory and
practice. The event links the Polish school of conservation-restoration with
the European activities in the field of Cultural Heritage.
Such a broad topical range should allow for comparisons between different
approaches and interpretations, as well as for the analyses of the
existence, significance and the diffusion of Brandi's thought in different
European countries. The most important authorities on the subject will
discuss the topics. The main issues are:
. the reception of Cesare Brandi's thought and the conservation-restoration
of the works of art in Poland,

. conservation-restoration - the critical approach - the theory and
practice,

. the conservation-restoration of the matter and not the form of a work of
art ("si restaura la materia, non la forma"),

. the potential unity of a work of art in theory and practice.

The publication of the conference materials with the abstracts in English is
planned.
