2 PROGRAM OUT_REGISTRATION OPEN_PROGRAM OUT_REGISTRATION OPEN PROGRAM OUT_REGISTRATION OPEN_PROGRAM OUT_REGISTRATION OPEN The Conservation Department, Die Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich is pleased to announce its fourth edition of the FUTURE TALKS conference series: FUTURE TALKS 015 Processes. The Making of Design and Modern Art Materials, Technologies and Conservation Strategies October 28 to 30, 2015 Pinakothek of Modern, Munich, Germany...the quality and thus the success of the FUTURE TALKS is and should always be related to a deeper understanding of technologies and materials used and to the pragmatism of finding appropriate conservation strategies to prolong the life span of design objects made of modern materials... After an overwhelming response to our last three FUTURE TALKS conferences we are looking forward to another extensive three-day-congress on international research projects and case studies on active conservation treatments and technology of modern materials in design and modern art. The FUTURE TALKS 015 is focussing on everything you d always wanted to learn about the making of design and modern art and the conservation challenges related to this. Recent advances in this field, addressing technology, design and production processes of modern materials, new and innovative treatment and analysis methods for degraded plastics as well as current research and ongoing projects will be presented. During the three day conference experts from all over the world (21 nations at the last FUTURE TALKS conference) will share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Knowing very well that the conservation of modern materials is not only limited to design objects, a part of the programme is dedicated to conservation projects on modern/contemporary works of art. Beneath lectures from the conservation section, we are very delighted to announce a set of great designers who will talk about the process in design. It is a honour to welcome: - Nitzan Cohen, professor for industrial and system design HBK Stuttgart, industrial designer, Munich, Germany - Karim Habib, chief designer, BMW, Munich, Germany - Axel Thallemer, full professor with tenure at National University of Singapore and Deputy Head of Research for Industrial Design, Singapore

The large number of objects reflects the technologies and materials developed in the course of the 20 th and 21 st century, attesting in particular to the use of plastics. However, unlike most traditional materials these are subject to a dynamic aging 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 s 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. Both knowledge and network expanded to the FUTURE TALKS, an international platform, initiating an intensive and profound discourse on practical conservation treatments of modern materials.
