Abstract

JIMENEZ MARTINEZ, Karla Lilia. Analysis of the Methodology for Conservation of Plastic Applied in Contemporary Works of Art. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.25, pp.14-56.  Epub Feb 13, 2023. ISSN 2007-249X.  https://doi.org/10.30763/intervencion.261.v1n25.40.2022.

Based on the comparative analysis of several case studies related to the application of The Decision-Making Model for the Conservation and Restoration of Modern and Contemporary Art to solve conservation problems of works created with plastic, I propose to delve into the reaches, challenges, implications and results of this subject, since plastic is an industrial material not produced ex profeso for artistic creation which, when used in this field, presents specific characteristics and properties that influence its behavior, deterioration and hence durability. Thus, its ephemeral character makes us question how to conserve such works, where the concept is the most important.

Keywords : plastic; case studies; conservation challenges; research model; degradation.
