The 10th Conference of the International Committee for the Conservation of Mosaics (ICCM) will be held in Palermo (Italy), October 20-26, 2008.
The theme of the 10th conference is Conservation: An act of Discovery.
It aims to stress how through a systematic and full documentation during the process of conservation, one has the occasion to make observations that deepens ones understanding of a mosaic, the technique or techniques involved in its execution, the archaeological context in which it was found and the historical vicissitudes it has experienced.
Three sub-themes address issues that are very much on the frontline today: a/ the cost of maintenance of mosaics conserved in situ; b/ the large-scale projects of mosaic and site conservation; and c/ the training of mosaic conservators.
It is also planned to organize two round-tables on related issues during the conference.
