Abstract(s)
O estágio realizado no Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto, estabelece-se como um momento preparatório para a exposição “Aula de Desenho” que decorrerá no Edifício da Reitoria da UP. Objetos associados ao ensino artístico e técnico das instituições que antecederam a universidade, foram selecionados para expor ao público recriando um panorama da atividade letiva nos séculos XIX e XX. Esta coleção apresenta uma grande variedade de materiais e funções: bustos de gesso (cópias de obras clássicas que outrora seriam modelos em aulas de desenho), materiais de pintura e variados instrumentos de medição e desenho que auxiliavam principalmente estudos de topografia e engenharia. O trabalho desenvolvido orientou-se pela investigação e documentação, avaliação de estados de conservação, escolha de tratamentos de restauro, a sua execução e a definição de estratégias de conservação preventiva. Nestas etapas pretende-se um entendimento dos materiais, métodos de produção, contextos históricos, funções e contributos para o estudo artístico e técnico. A partir deste enquadramento, surge uma valorização das alterações e marcas dos objetos, indicativas do seu percurso e interação com os contextos espácio-temporais em que se encontravam. A intenção de preservação destes elementos contribuiu para uma atitude de conservação voltada para a intervenção mínima, com destaque para a importância da conservação preventiva. A coleção apresenta múltiplos casos de peças com marcas de uso, vandalismo e patinas, cuja interpretação, tanto no contexto académico como pela instituição museológica, atribui importância a estas alterações nos materiais como essenciais à integridade histórica das peças, levando a uma reflexão contemporânea das problemáticas de intervenção mínima.
The internship in Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto, served as a preparatory moment for the exhibition “Aula de Desenho” that will happen in Edifício da Reitoria. Objects associated with artistic and technical teaching of the institutions that preceded the university, will be exposed to the public recreating the context of the educational activity in the XIX and XX centuries. The collection presents a wide range of materials and functions: plaster busts (copies of classical sculptures that were used as models for drawing classes), painting materials and several measuring and drawing instruments that served mainly studies of topography and engineering. The work developed was guided by the research and documentation, evaluation of states of conservation, choices of restoration treatments, their execution, and the defining of preventive conservation strategies. In these steps, it is intended to strive toward an understanding of materials, production methods, historical contexts, functions, and contributions to technical and artistic teaching. From this framing, emerges a valuing of the alterations and marks of the objects, indicative of their journey and interaction with the spatial and temporal environments they were in. The intention of preserving these elements contributes to an attitude of conservation focused on minimal intervention, highlighting the importance of preventive conservation. The collection presents multiple cases of objects with marks of use, vandalism and patinas, the interpretation of which, both in the academic context and by the museum, attributes importance to the alterations suffered by the materials as essential to their historical integrity, leading to a contemporary reflection on the practice of minimal intervention.
