Anna Laganà is a modern and contemporary art conservator at the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage (ICN).
She trained as a painting conservator at the Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro in Rome (2000-2005) where she specialized in modern and contemporary art conservation. Her thesis was on the history, technique, degradation and conservation of plastics materials in art. After concluding her conservation training with honours, she won a scholarship (2005) granted by La Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia and Accademia di Belle Arti of Venice, to train as a Contemporary Art Guide during the 51st International Art Exhibition of the Biennale of Venice. In 2006 she attended the “Masterclass of Plastics” at the ICN in Amsterdam. In the same year Anna did a Master in Conservation Teaching at the Centro Conservazione e Restauro La Venaria Reale in Turin. Part of this training included an internship at the research department of the ICN, where she focussed on modern and contemporary art conservation.
In 2007 she returned to ICN for a period of 4 months to increase her knowledge on plastics conservation research working as an intern with Thea van Oosten and to work for the European project “Finger Art Print” with Bill Wei.
In Italy Anna has worked as lecturer, as freelance paintings and modern art conservator for several ateliers and institutes such as the Biennale of Venice, and in the 2007-2008 as coordinator of the Modern and Contemporary Art Laboratory for the Centro Conservazione e Restauro La Venaria Reale.
From October 2008, following her interest for researching plastics materials, Anna started again her collaboration with the ICN working with Thea Van Oosten as researcher/conservator for the European project POPART on Preservation Of Plastics Artefacts in museum collections.
Anna is founding member of the INCCA Italy group where she is involved as junior coordinator for the education and teaching section and as referent of plastics materials.
