The countdown is on for one of Spain’s most significant contemporary art conservation gatherings!
Between March 4th and 5th, 2026, Opus Instruments will be present at the Jornadas de Conservación de Arte Contemporáneo, taking place at Museo Reina Sofía, Edificio Nouvel, Auditorio 400 in Madrid (starting at 10:00).
We’re delighted to bring the Apollo Camera to Spain’s vibrant conservation community and demonstrate how infrared reflectography continues to transform the way conservators understand and preserve contemporary artworks.
The Apollo Camera represents the gold standard in infrared reflectography technology, enabling conservators to see beneath the visible surface of artworks and uncover details invisible to the naked eye. From underdrawings and pentimenti to artist alterations and previous restoration interventions, infrared reflectography provides crucial insights that inform conservation decisions and deepen our understanding of artistic processes.
Contemporary art conservation presents unique challenges: modern materials, experimental techniques, and evolving artistic practices require imaging solutions that can adapt to diverse scenarios. The Apollo Camera has been specifically designed to meet these demands, combining exceptional sensitivity with user-friendly operation that makes advanced imaging accessible to conservators worldwide.
Throughout both days, our team will be showcasing live demonstrations of the Apollo Camera’s capabilities. Whether you’re working with paintings, works on paper, or mixed media installations, we’ll demonstrate how infrared reflectography can enhance your conservation practice and reveal information critical to preservation decisions.
Our specialist will be available to discuss your specific imaging needs and explain how the Apollo Camera can be integrated into your existing workflows. We welcome questions about technical specifications, practical applications, and how our technology supports various conservation challenges.
To ensure you receive dedicated attention during the event, we encourage you to reserve a specific time slot with our on-site specialist, Eva Direito, by emailing eva.direito@atik-cameras.com with your preferred visit time.
The Jornadas de Conservación de Arte Contemporáneo brings together Spain’s leading conservation professionals, and we’re honoured to participate in this important gathering.
