In-Situ Project
When the studio comes to your work
Certain situations require conservation to be carried out directly at the work’s conservation location rather than in my studio. At Atelier CROMA, I propose in-situ interventions adapted to these particular cases, allowing to treat artworks in their usual environment when their displacement is impossible, risky or simply not desirable.
This mobile approach is particularly indicated for:
Very large dimension art works difficult to transport
Particularly fragile pieces whose displacement would represent risk
Complex installations requiring specific spatial context
Permanently fixed works (painted ceilings, murals)
Important institutional collections requiring on-site intervention
Emergency situations requiring rapid conservation action
Mobile expertise for contemporary art
My specialization in modern and contemporary art at Atelier CROMA allows me to bring solutions adapted to specific problematics of recent works:
Installations requiring understanding of their in-situ functioning
Monumental art works characteristic of contemporary art
Site-specific creations whose meaning is inseparable from their environment
Experimental materials that can react unpredictably to transport
Participatory or evolving works requiring intervention in their context
How I adapt to your spatial constraints?
As mobile conservator, I organize my in-situ interventions according to rigorous methodology:
1. Prior evaluation of specific needs
Before any intervention, I carry out:
- Preparatory technical visit to evaluate intervention conditions
- Analysis of environmental constraints (space, light, access)
- Identification of on-site available resources (electricity, water, ventilation)
- Evaluation of specific risks linked to work environment
- Detailed logistical planning of equipment to mobilize
2. Creation of adapted mobile laboratory
I meticulously prepare:
- Selection of transportable high-precision equipment
- Adaptation of technical protocols to in-situ work conditions
- Preparation of professional lighting systems reproducing studio conditions
- Organization of temporary work space respecting safety standards
- Controlled micro-environment solutions if necessary (temperature, humidity)
3. Coordination with on-site teams
I integrate into your environment:
- Close collaboration with curators or collection managers
- Intervention planning according to accessibility constraints
- Minimization of disturbances for visitors or occupants
- Training and awareness of local staff to good practices
- Shared documentation of work progress
4. Interventions adapted to context
I apply my techniques with flexibility:
- Modular methods according to available space and conditions
- Adaptation of products used according to ventilation constraints
- Organized work phases to respect site activity cycles
- Innovative alternative solutions to circumvent technical limitations
- Balance between efficiency and discretion in public spaces
5. Post-intervention on-site follow-up
I finalise my mission by:
- Informing staff to adapted maintenance gestures
- Development of specific recommendations for in-situ conservation
- Complete documentation of interventions carried out delivered on site
- Programming of control visits if necessary
- Availability for remote advice after intervention

My ecological approach to in-situ projects
Atelier CROMA’s environmental commitment also translates in my mobile interventions:
Displacement optimization to reduce carbon footprint (intervention grouping)
Preferential use of ecological products adapted to shared spaces
Waste limitation thanks to optimized packaging
Responsible residue management (appropriate collection and treatment)
Energy saving through low-consumption equipment use
Awareness to good environmental practices with local teams
Preventive conservation solutions limiting needs for future interventions
Flexibility at your heritage’s service
In-situ projects represent a practical and secure solution for works that cannot be moved to my studio. This mobile approach guarantees that even the most imposing or delicate pieces of your collection benefit from high-quality professional intervention, without risks associated with transport.
At Atelier CROMA, I adapt to your logistical and spatial constraints to propose custom solutions, respectful of your works and their environment.
