ArtStore supports emerging talent on the international stage

Sponsorship for Zoé Brändle to attend the ICOM-CC Triennial Conference in Oslo:

The preservation of art and cultural heritage depends not only on innovative solutions and professional infrastructure, but above all on people who are committed to its preservation through their knowledge, passion and curiosity. ArtStore is therefore delighted to support the young Swiss conservation student Zoé Brändle as she takes an important step in her professional and academic development.

This is what her research is about

Zoé Brändle is currently completing her Master’s degree in Conservation-Restoration, specialising in Contemporary Art and Media, at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB). She is particularly interested in modern materials, especially Plastics – a field that poses specific challenges for conservators and restorers due to the complex ageing processes involved.

As part of an internship project at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, Zoé used a specific practical example to investigate an issue relevant to the packaging and, consequently, the long-term preservation of cultural heritage. Based on this work, she independently developed a scholarly poster presentation. This was accepted for the ICOM-CC Triennial Conference in Oslo – a special opportunity to present her own research findings to an international audience of specialists and to exchange ideas with experts from around the world.

Zoé’s career path to date demonstrates that she already possesses considerable practical experience: her roles and work placements have taken her to the Bern Historical Museum, the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, the Museum Franz Gertsch and the Collections Centre of the Swiss National Museum, amongst others.

Tested safety for valuable cultural heritage

Just as Zoé does in her research, we leave nothing to chance when it comes to our products. We therefore consistently rely on safe, emission-free powder-coated surfaces – verified by the rigorous Oddy test.

Furthermore, our painting hoist systems ensure the highest standards of workplace and user safety: as storage facilities officially tested by TÜV SÜD, they bear the recognised GS quality mark for certified safety. Our aim is to always offer our customers the best possible and safest solution for their storage facilities, based on this scientific and certified foundation.

For ArtStore, this commitment represents a deliberate investment in the next generation of specialists. As a provider of solutions for the professional storage and preservation of art and cultural assets, we are confronted daily with the requirements of museums, collections and storage facilities. This makes it all the more important for us to engage with those who are involved, both scientifically and practically, in the long-term preservation of these objects.

We wish Zoé an inspiring time in Oslo, exciting encounters and every success with the presentation of her poster. We are delighted to be able to support her on this important step.
