It is free from trace metals. It is strong enough to withstand flexing and folding. For books, contracts and permanent records, Howard Permalife is the permanent / durable paper of choice. And now it's watermarked with the year of manufacture. If a page were stored under archival conditions, an archivist of 2480 should be able to hold this paper up to the light and say, "1980.

You can lessen this situation by lifting the mat(s) up off the painting by inserting strips of mat board or foam board behind the mats to make a generous space for the dust to fall into. Make sure the lifters go all the way to the outside edge of the mats to support the backing. (See Figure 2) The dust will settle on the mat bevels and every time the frame is jostled the dust will filter down between the mat and the glass. Another good remedy uses “reverse bevel” mat(s) as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

  • The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and Other Boards Used in Framing
    The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and other boards used in framing. Amended 10th June 2004 Copyright C Sumner, Fine Art Trade Guild Introduction These standards are directed to the composition, combinations, and characteristics of papers and paper-boards used in the framing of artwork, keepsakes and memorabilia. They help to give material categorisation of these to fit into the five levels of framing specified by the Fine Art Trade Guild. The objective of each level of framing is stated, with examples of the kinds of things for which that level is suitable. At present, all board that does not meet either the Cotton Museum Board standard or the Conservation Board standard will be deemed to be Standard Board and suitable for Commended, Budget and Minimum levels of framing only. The specifications for Standard Board may be further refined in due course as the quality of boards in this category vary greatly. Conservation Board is deemed to be acceptable for all levels except Museum level framing. Museum Board is deemed to be acceptable for all levels of framing. It is a prerequisite that the type of surface and texture must be specified relating to any board purporting to meet Guild Standards. If the surface is designed to accept decoration and embellishments, as in the case of Mountboard unless otherwise stipulated, it should be fit for the purpose. (FACTS Institute, USA, Test No. 6-97). International – Note that in some markets no distinction is made between Museum and Conservation Framing. In others, the terminology is reversed, i.e.

    KELLEY MINOR HISTORIES Statements, Conversations, Proposals MIKE KELLEY edited by John C. Welchman What John C. Welchman calls the “blazing network of focused conflations” from which Mike Kelley’s styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of his writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley’s own work, ranging from texts in “voices” that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings. Minor Histories organizes Kelley’s writings into five sections. “Statements” consists of twenty pieces produced MINOR between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including “Ajax,” which draws on MIKE KELLEY Homeric epic, Colgate-Palmolive advertising, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; “Some Aesthetic High Points,” an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of “creative writings” that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visu- MINOR HISTORIES al styles that characterize Kelley’s artwork. “Video Statements and Proposals” are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. “Image-Texts” offers writings that accom- Statements, Conversations, Proposals pany or are part of artworks and installations. This section includes “A Stopgap Measure,” Kelley’s zestful millennial essay in social satire, and “Meet John Doe,” a collage of appropriated texts.

  • Government Paper Specification Standards | September 2019 | No.13
    GOVERNMENT SEPTEMBER 2019 | NO. 13 September 2019 TO: HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) provides Federal agencies with highly valuable advice and assistance in obtaining their printing needs. One of the ways in which we provide this assistance is in the development and issuance of Government paper standards. The purpose of these standards is to (1) achieve compliance with relevant statutes regarding printing papers; (2) address environmental, workplace safety, and paper longevity issues; and (3) maximize savings in the Government’s paper purchases and ultimately your print projects. These standards are available for use by all departments of the Government and their field offices. Some standards are specialty grades with limited availability and have been designated within the standard. Generally these stocks are procured as mill run quantities. There is maximum flexibility in specifying color, texture, and recycled content. The use of these standards will achieve the greatest possible savings in paper stocks for your agency’s printing needs. If you have any questions about unique substrates such as paper manufactured with security features, please contact your National Accounts Manager. Please do not hesitate to contact your GPO customer service representative with any suggestions you may have to improve this publication.
