Since the beginning of industrialization, the increasing development of materials and related technologies have had an ever-greater influence on the design of goods and works of art. Until today materials are being invented, modified, blended and adapted to the needs of the market and the environment.
Conservators confronted with cultural objects of this era must recognize and interpret such complex relationships to gain a proper understanding of degradation and thus to develop appropriate conservation methods and the respective treatments. As we all know, the involvement of different disciplines, such as conservations scientists, engineers, designers and producers is a key element in the understanding of these objects.
As we could learn the last years, it is not uncommon for such conservation projects carried out to be initial approaches to the preservation of a particular modern material.

\u2028The FUTURE TALKS have been offering a discursive platform for such case studies since 2009.\u202814 years and 7 conferences later we\u2019d like to review some of those to clarify their suitability and effectiveness. What worked well and still stands in the test of time? What needs to be reconsidered? What can we deduce for the future?\u2028Like criminal investigators refer to COLD CASES when reopening past ones, with the FUTURE TALKS 023 we recognize the enormous potential in retrospective inspection of former conservation projects.\u2028Nevertheless, the necessity of looking at current research should not be neglected.\u2028Therefore, we call out for COLD AND CURRENT CASES in the conservation of the modern.\u2028We are very much interested in the reassessment of earlier conservation projects and lectures on current cases dealing about:\u2028Conservation\/ Restoration\u2028\u2043 Retrospective insights into former conservation and restoration treatments. Still the best decision or time to rethink? How to handle earlier failures?\u2028\u2043 How to handle \/ conserve relatively unknown or innovative \/ advanced materials\u2028\u2043 Technological studies and object-related research\u2028\u2043 The degradation of serial and non-serial materials and its conservation\u2028\u2043 The degradation of modern materials and its conservation\u2028\u2043 Case studies in the field of restoration of modern and contemporary objects and works of art\u2028\u2043 Innovative conservation strategies and new ways to treat modern materials\u2028\u2043 New conservation materials and tools\u2028\u2043 Innovative documentation techniques\u2028\u2043 Innovativeconservation practices\u2028\u2043 Failure guides (application in industry and conservation)\u2028\u2043 The implementation of interdisciplinary approach\u2028\u2043 Critical analysis of professional approach\u2028\u2043 Visions and perspectives in the conservation of modern materials\u2028\u2028(Where do we come from \u2013where do we go to?)\u2028Analytical Research\u2028\u2043 Innovative research and investigative methods on materials, technologies, degradation and conservation\u2028\u2043 New ways to identify modern materials\u2028\u2043 Strategies of characterisation and identification\u2028\u2043 How about looking at cold cases with modified \/ new \/ improved methods?\u2028\u2028Production and Design\u2028\u2043 Application of new materials and technologies in the production of design and contemporary art\u2028\u2028(in their time)\u2028\u2043 Exceptional use of relatively unknown or innovative \/ advanced materials\u2028\u2043 The innovative use of materials\u2028\u2043 Intelligent materials\u2028\u2043 The use of plastics in various fields of human culture\u2028\u2043 Recycled plastics and bioplastics\u2028\u2043 Processing of materials and manufacturing techniques\u2028\u2043 New and trendsetting materials in the production of design objects\u2028\u2043 Unusual design concepts\u2028\u2043 Visions in design\u2028\u2043 What can we learn from former products and materials?\u2028\u2043 What is the role of history of design and material in the design process of today?\u2028\u2028During the three-day conference an interdisciplinary panel of experts from all over the world will share their experiences and knowledge in this field.\u2028The detailed conference program and further information on registration and fees will be posted by end-May 2023.\u2028To foster lively and interdisciplinary dialogue we invite submissions from conservators, conservation scientists, designers, architects, artists, engineers and producers.\u2028Recent advances in this field, addressing technology, design and production processes, new and innovative treatment and analysis methods as well as current conservation research and ongoing projects are very welcome.\u2028 conference.The submitted papers for publication must be proof-read by a native English speaker.The papers will be subject to a peer review and editing process.Participation from students and professionals from allied fields is highly encouraged.
The conference and associated post prints will be in English.

FUTURE TALKS\u2028With more than 1500 participants in the last 14 years the FUTURE TALKS became a highly recognized and established forum for interdisciplinary lectures, workshops and discussions on modern materials and technologies and its impact to the world of conservators, scientists, designers, artists and the gallery scene.With the focus on an increasing number of interdisciplinary contributions related to technologies and modified analysis techniques, our goal is to improve the decision-making process in the conservation of modern materials and to discuss \/ define possible ways of active treatments.

FUTURE TALKS helps to raise public awareness to the fact that even serial products are faced with a gradual degradation process of material which can result at worst in a loss of cultural identity and history.

ORGANIZER
Die Neue Sammlung \u2013The Design Museum houses one of the world\u2019slargest and most important collection of industrial design. The large number of objects reflects the technologies and materials developed during the 20th and 21st century, attesting in particular to the use of plastics. However, unlike most traditional materials these are subject to a dynamic ageing process and after only a short time often already bear irreversible traces of their age. Corresponding types of damage can hardly be reconciled with the respective designer\u2019s original intentions and are often problematic in terms of conservation.Since its founding in 2002, the Conservation Department has become an important hub for the conservation and maintenance of modern design objects, through research into the deterioration and preservation of the collections, the development of new conservation processes and the knowledge of its original technology. It also plays an active role in networking and information sharing and takes part in national and international research projects in the conservation of design.
Beyond the participation at international conferences with numerous lectures on the conservation of modern materials we had lectureships at the University College of London (UCL) in Doha, Qatar and the Technische Universit\u00e4t in Munich (TUM), Germany.
Today we teach, among others, at the art academies of Stuttgart, Germany and Vienna, Austria. Since 2009 both knowledge and network expanded to the FUTURE TALKS \u2013 an international conference platform, initiating an intensive and profound discourse on practical conservation treatments of modern materials. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/content-reveal>\n\n\t\t
