The before and the after. Ink on paper. Beautiful drawing of Alexandre Alves Costa.

Preparing drawings for an exhibit is one of my favorite things. But dismounting them when they are poorly mounted is another story. Always the evil tape...

Meet one of our regulars, and much appreciated, Nadir Afonso, a XXth century portuguese painter of the XXth century. And with him, one of our nemesis... adhesive tape!

At @FIMS1 we continue our conservation work. As the weeks flow by we are opening, cleaning and rehousing hundreds of rolls of architectural drawings #paperconservation #tracingpaper

Tratamento do acervo de Raúl Hestnes Ferreira continua.
A cada semana, dezenas de rolos de esquissos e desenhos de projeto são abertos, separados, limpos e reacondicionados. Até ao momento já são cerca de 4000 registos!

Cleaning between the lines #paperconservation #surfacecleaning #todayinthelab

[Ana Freitas @Amf_pt]

Since we return from the Covid-19 confinement we are working @FIMS1 with the architectural drawings from Raúl Hestnes Ferreira. A large scale cleaning and housing project.
In the video - what can a roll hide?

We might not wear capes, but this week we had to put our rescue skills in action! This institution had a water leak that flooded a couple of boxes with books and documents. Fortunately we were able to save most of them and the casualties were minimal.
