Documenting, managing and enhancing art collections and artist archives.
Bio
Giulia Miculan is specialized as a collection care manager of art collections and archives, with a background in art conservation and academic institutional roles.
Born in Udine in 1998, she attended the art high school with a specialization in architecture, which provided her the foundation for a technical and objective-oriented methodology.
In 2024, she completed the specialization diploma in Restoration of Cultural Heritage at Fine Arts Academy of Verona, focusing on object conservation: easel and panel paintings, wooden sculptures and artifacts, synthetic materials, and contemporary art.
Her thesis — divided in practical and theoretical part — focused on the conservation of a 1974 painting by Veronese painter Giovanni Meloni (1940–2019), alongside a case study of his archive, both documentary and artistic. She analyzed the previous activities carried out by the Giovanni Meloni Archive Association and developed a plan for the protection and enhancement of the artist's legacy. She graduated with honors and received a special mention for publication.
During her third academic year, she co-founded the Young Group of the Italian Group of the International Institute for Conservation, which she still coordinates with colleagues. She served as a student representative and member of the Academic Council for three years, and as a member of the Administrative Council during her final academic year.
Subsequently to her graduation, she completed a five-month Erasmus traineeship at the Danish Centre for Conservation of Art (Kunstkonserveringen, Silkeborg), where she participated in numerous condition report campaigns, exhibition dismantling, and museum collection maintenance — including the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum — alongside laboratory conservation work.
She has worked in both Italy and Denmark on restoration projects, and as temporary staff liaison for collectors during the Artissima art fair.
She currently continues her consulting activity and periodic on-site projects with the Giovanni Meloni Artist Archive, while working as a gallery assistant at SMdot Contemporary Art Gallery in Udine. She is also self-training in fundraising for culture and the secondary art market.
