Place: Faculty of Medicine, Complutense University of Madrid.
Language: English and Spanish with simultaneous translation
Four decades after the pioneering Ceroplastics Congresses (Florence, 1975 and London, 1978) interest in wax modelling is now more intense; Madrid will build on this foundation and, on the 29 and 30 of June 2017, will present a new International Congress of Ceroplastics.
Professors from the fields of Anatomy, Art History, Sculpture, Restoration, Conservation and Information Science will participate in the congress under the auspices of the Faculty of Medicine and Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid, of the Spanish Anatomical Society and the University Institute of Health Assessment. Three pillars form the backbone of the event: "Origin and Functionality", "Materials, Techniques and Procedures" and "Analysis, Diagnosis and Intervention".
The Congress is aimed at a wide range of professionals of fields such as: History of Art, Fine Arts, Sculpture, History, Restoration, Conservation, Museology, Medicine and Information Science.
