What can actually be conserved? What do objects tell us and how can we understand them, help them and convey their significance? And who are the people who look after cultural assets? Our konservier_bar opens up a space for exchange: between curiosity and expertise, between research and craftsmanship, between surface and depth. At the centre is an object that symbolises what we do - a variety of materials, methods and perspectives. Conservation is far more than preservation: it is research, documentation, analysis, evaluation, discussion, mediation and creative problem-solving. It is reading traces, visualising connections, mediating between objects and users, working precisely with material and meaning. Our field of work is multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, lively - and invites you to take a closer look again and again. The conservation students invite you to come by, linger, ask questions and find out together the complexity we are confronted with in conservation.
