This statement, along with the creative, expressive and intangible aims of this activity, as well as the lack of information, promotion of safety awareness and training of thepeople in charge of art studios, may have pushed the implications of practicing art as regards health, safety and environment into the background. Faced with this prospect, a comprehensive study of the facilities and the activities carried out in art studios becomes necessary. The study concerns experimental activities involving Health and Safety risks for both the artists and the teachers and students, especially those carried out in the studios located in educational institutions.; Podeu consultar el llibre complet a: http://hdl.handle.net/2445/34493 http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/209805 http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/209804 Health ans safety related to products used in painting, drawing and printmaking Figueras Ferrer, Eva; Crespo, Bibiana http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/209804 http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/179391 A study of the effects of PVAC on works of art on paper and wood: pH and colour change Campo, Gema; Nualart i Torroja, Anna; Oriola Folch, Marta; Ruiz Recasens, Cristina This paper presents the preliminary findings of pH and colour measurements carried out on artworks on paperand on wood that had been treated with a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC) based adhesive in the 1980s. In both cases, areas treated with PVAC proved to be less acidic than untreated areas. Contrary to expectations, the conservation treatments have not, as yet, increased acidity levels in the objects under study. Colour measurements of the works on paper showed that those that had been backed with a cotton fabric using a mixture of methylcellulose and PVAC were less yellow than those from the same print run that had not been backed. This finding suggests that the backing somehow prevented the natural degradation of the support. In view of these preliminary results, further research is clearly needed. This study forms part of a broader ongoing project to assess the role of PVAC in the conservation of a range of cultural assets. http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/179391 http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/86399 Art i ciència: converses Canadell, Enric, 1950-; Nogué, Àlex, 1953- A la infància, Enric Canadell químic teòric i Àlex Nogué artista visual comparteixen pupitre i jocs de carrer a Castellfollit de la Roca, un poble de la Garrotxa, Girona. Segueixen trajectes vitals ben diferents i desenvolupen una ampla experiència professional internacional en la ciència i l'art. Quaranta-cinc anys més tard es retroben novament sota el projecte "En comptes de la revolució, converses" promogut per Cafè Central i l'Associació per les Arts Contemporànies H.ACC per tal de cercar coincidències en les seves activitats professionals aparentment tan dispars i en la seva forma de viure-les. http://www.recercat.cat:80/handle/2072/86399
