Conference proceedings “Acta Artis Academica” of 2010\, 2012 and 2014 are listed in the ISI Proceedings fully searchable in the Web of Science.\nThe date of the next ALMA conference will be slightly shifted to the end of May/beginning of June 2017 to take part in a wider series of international conferences and to synchronize with the partner conference in Krakow (Poland)\, that follows the same strategy – to bring the top scientific research to the practice of cultural heritage protection.\nAdditionally\, the 2nd CrysAC (Commission on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage) workshop will be organized within the frame of the ALMA conference as its integral part. It will be organized in co-operation of the CrysAC commission\, Laboratory ALMA and the Czech and Slovak Crystallographic Association. This workshop was introduced for the first time at the 6th Meeting “X-ray and other techniques in investigation of the objects of cultural heritage” organized in May 2016 in Krakow (Poland) by Jagiellonian University and the Commission on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage of the International Union of Crystallography.\nThe main aim of the conference is to offer a true interdisciplinary platform with a focus on case studies demonstrating the benefits of applying scientific analyses and/or new methods (techniques) in practice.\nA more detailed description of the aims of the ALMA conference and the 2nd CrysAC workshop follows: \nPAINTING AS A STORY or PAINTING IN THE COURSE OF TIME \nEvery painting changes even after being painted. Significant changes affect its identity and authenticity. This conference will focus on interdisciplinary case studies on painted artworks*\, which will present methodological novelties or unconventional research approaches and will accent the role of time-dependent processes affecting the quality\, originality\, authenticity and state of preservation of the object. All contributions have to relate to one of the following topics: \n1) Degradation phenomena (processes of corrosion\, weathering\, chemical interactions\, with particular attention given to those influencing durability and aesthetic quality of painted objects)\n2) Unclear history: historical vs. analytical facts (how can analytical information complement\, clarify\, or dispute the literary evidence and how the „life story“ of each object can be understood by critical comparison of historical and analytical data and by proper distinguishing of original layers and later interventions; how can analytical approach help with dating\, which can often be determined only through comparative studies of art techniques\, materials availability and technological evolution)\n3) Unclear future: conservation of modern and contemporary art (problems of durability and restoration/conservation of objects of modern and contemporary arts as one of the key questions of present days)\n4) Symmetry in art. \n*The term „painted artworks“ includes easel and panel paintings\, wall paintings\, polychrome statues\, illuminated manuscripts\, painted objects of applied arts (on any support) and all related/alternative technologies to paints\, as\, e.g.\, printing\, dyeing\, glazing etc.) URL:https://ecanews.org/event/6th-alma-conference/ LOCATION:Augustinian Monastery\, Mendel Square\, Brno\, Czech Republic CATEGORIES:Meeting,Other Meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170422 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170427 DTSTAMP:20260406T083004 CREATED:20161201T105816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161201T110125Z UID:3004-1492819200-1493251199@ecanews.org SUMMARY:Workshop on Hot Topics in Contemporary Crystallography DESCRIPTION:We are now a bit more than a century away from the first structural studies based on the diffraction of X-rays on crystals\, but over this relatively short period of time\, the level of complexity that we are capable of examining has multiplied literally by millions. In particular\, over the last decade or so\, we are witnessing a remarkable advance in experimental methods and theoretical approaches in crystallography which are putting this scientific branch of ours to the front lines of not only structural chemistry\, but of natural sciences in general. \nIn order to review and tackle these fascinating recent achievements and developments\, we in Croatian Association of Crystallography\, have\, three years ago\, developed the concept and launched the first edition of Hot Topics in Contemporary Crystallography – a high level workshop intended to the utterly ambitious PhD students and postdocs\, as well as to the young crystallographers in the early stages of their autonomous carriers\, conducting their research within the broad spectrum of disciplines and sub disciplines related to crystallography. \nHereby\, we are proudly announcing the registration opening and call for bursary applications for the second edition of the Hot Topics in Contemporary Crystallography workshop – HTCC2017\, to be held in Poreč\, one of the jewels of the Croatian Adriatic\, from April 22nd to 26th\, 2017. For more on confirmed speakers\, topics to be covered\, registration fee\, registration procedure\, bursary application\, venue etc\, please visit the official website of the HTCC2017. \nWe are so much looking forward to welcoming you in Poreč.
