2024S, scientific seminar (SEW), 2.0 ECTS, 1.0 semester hours, course number S04832
Description
The seminar is dedicated to the conservation treatment and technological determination of metal objects from the Collection and Archive of the Angewandte. The objects are jewelry and artistic goldsmith works by students from the classes of Eugen Mayer, who taught as a professor of metalworking at the then (Reichs-)Hochschule, later Akademie für Angewandte Kunst, between 1936 and 1961.
In addition to contextualizing the objects that were created in the artistic training during the Nazi regime and the immediate postwar period, this hands-on course offers a general introduction to the handling of museum objects and the various challenges of working with collections and archives that have grown historically. We will also learn about goldsmithing and silversmithing techniques and together carry out a collection care project aimed at improving the storage and documentation of the collection.
