Abstract(s)
Perante o carácter multidisciplinar da Arte Contemporânea e a variedade de materiais pouco estáveis e não convencionais empregues nas obras, o conservador-restaurador é frequentemente confrontado com desafios que advêm da procura constante pelo desenvolvimento de novas conceções artísticas. Nesse sentido, a obra Radiologias (1979), do artista português Silvestre Pestana (1949, Funchal, Madeira), pertencente à coleção da Fundação de Serralves (Porto, Portugal), fruto do compromisso do artista para com as inovações tecnológicas, revelou-se um caso de estudo pertinente, uma vez que integra um sistema de iluminação composto por várias lâmpadas de halogénio tubulares que já não são fabricadas e comercializadas, assim como radiografias em progressivo estado de degradação. Por consequência, a presente dissertação visa definir e testar estratégias de conservação que permitam contornar a obsolescência tecnológica e a degradação das radiografias, sendo que, para tal, foi produzida documentação exaustiva e detalhada da obra e concebido um sistema de iluminação LED alternativo ao sistema original.

In this sense, the artwork Radiologias (1979), by the Portuguese artist Silvestre Pestana (1949, Funchal, Madeira), belonging to the collection of the Serralves Foundation (Porto, Portugal), resulting from the artist's commitment to technological innovations, has proven to be a pertinent case study, as it incorporates a lighting system composed of several tubular halogen lamps that are no longer manufactured and sold, as well as radiographs in a progressive state of deterioration. Consequently, this dissertation aims to define and test conservation strategies that can circumvent technological obsolescence and the degradation of the radiographs. For this purpose, exhaustive and detailed documentation of the work was produced, and an alternative LED lighting system was designed to replace the original system.
